Can you downgrade to KerberosIV ?;-) It have some features as Kerberos5,
and is free! ;-)
Look at: http://www.pdc.kth.se/kth-krb/

and for heimdal(FREE Kerberos5): http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/


HEIMDAL is a free implementation of Kerberos 5. The goals are to:

   * have an implementation that can be freely used outside of the
     United States

   * be protocol compatible with existing implementations and, if not in
     conflict, with RFC 1510 (and any future updated RFC)

   * be somewhat compatible with the M.I.T Kerberos V5 API

   * have support for kerberosV5 over GSS-API

   * include the most important and useful application programs (rsh,
     telnet, popper, etc.)

This initial pre-version is mostly compatible with the M.I.T
implementation, as well as DCE secd. The library is at least not totally
different from the M.I.T `libkrb5'.
