Native Win2K Krb Authentication + Client apps

I know Windows 2000 Professional defaults to authenticating against
Kerberos rather than NTLM. Logging into Win2K obtains the user's
Kerberos credentials.

Can these credentials be used by client applications that weren't
necessarily built against Microsoft's Kerberos implementation? For
example, if a user logs in on Windows 2000 and attempts to use the KLP
package provided by MIT for kerberized print services, will KLP
recognize and use the credentials that Win2K obtained?

Thanks!
