Implementaion of KCM funtionality for MIT Kerberos

[Rajasekaran Nagarajan]

Hi Russ:

I had a look at kstart and found that it does not allow having a single
root level process taking care of the renewal of all the user tickets.
Also, it does not change the system principal password, when it
expires.

Thanx...

Not that this is completely the same thing, but you may want to take a
look at:

before doing a lot of work and see if that solves your immediate
problem.
