What exactly do you mean here?  What do you mean by "you must use sun's
code"?

I have MIT krb5 installed on my solaris 8 hosts, and I also have Sun's
krb5 installed on them.  I use them together freely (with 2 MIT KDC's). 
My popper and kpopper were compiled against MIT, and my popper uses
Sun's PAM module for KRB5 passwords authentication.  I have
/etc/krb5/krb5.conf symlinked to /etc/krb5.conf, etc.  Everything works
together just fine (I can MIT kinit and then Sun klist, etc.).

Where are these things not interchangable, and what code of Sun's must I
use for Secure NFS?
