Upgrading from Kerberos 1.2.7 to 1.3.x

[sunil chandran]

 Hello kevin,

Sorry for confusing you from the begininng.
I am using a linux environment in which has kerberos 1.2.7. This machine was
requesting for ticket from KDC(windows ) in another domain.

Thats where i encountered Error Code 52. Everyone including you suggested me
to upgrade to newer version of kerberos. and i saw kerberos 1.3.1 in many
discussion forum. SO i thought that is a stable version to go for when i
upgrade my Linux pc.

Anyway please advice me which is the good stable version of kerberos to go
for while upgrading my machine.
Also please help me to install it successfully. i mean how to remove the
previous version and install the new verison in Linux.

Thanks
Sunil C
