Kerberos and InterMapper

[James Reynolds]

I am trying to configure an InterMapper server (see 
http://www.intermapper.com) to test the status of our kerberos 
server.  I asked the InterMapper developers if they knew anything 
about it and they said that they didn't.  They asked if there was a 
straightforward packet or TCP exchange that would test if the server 
is functional.  Do any of you know?
