Sunil,
I'm not going to go back to your other e-mails and try and find what
operating system you are on.  And it may may not matter...

My question for you is, why have you chosen to upgrade to 1.3.1 rather
than the latest version, which is 1.6.3?

As for the upgrade, in most cases you can simply compile and install,
replacing the previous version (libraries and binaries).  I don't
believe the database format has changed since 1.2.7, so it should be
safe to do this even if you are running a KDC.
