Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure if that will do what we need. 
We're not looking to replace NIS or the like, just add Kerberos as an 
authentication route for various programs with Kerberos support.
The documentation is a touch vague about what each part is being used 
for, or how things actually talk to each other, I can't find the part 
where Kerberos and LDAP will actually communicate in any way.

We have an LDAP tree with all our user info in, and want to be able to 
use programs which only know Kerberos to be able to authenticate against 
the data in LDAP.
