Exactly what I meant by that was that it's a different implementation
with different administrative commands and a different way of replicating
the database (UBIK). This is a neutral observation.
The AFS V4 KDC does interoperate with most clients; jgm said "most"
because kinit/login-type programs which prompt for passwords run into
the annoying problem that the AFS KDC stores keys using a different
string-to-key algorithm than the MIT standard server.
