Hello-
The document you referenced is intended for an internal MIT audience.
If you want to get Kerberos for Macintosh and Kerberized Fetch, you
should go to:
<http://mit.edu/kerberos/www/>, and select "Getting Kerberos Sources
and Binaries from MIT". Those pages are intended for a worldwide
audience.
