Anonymous ftp to ftp.cc.columbia.edu, cd /kerberos, and find  
cukrb4-noispell.patch:
 
Columbia University (and GA Tech) patches to Kerberos 4, patchlevel 9.

This patch:

  - Includes Georgia Tech fixes and additions, including kdb_batch (posted to 
    comp.protocols.kerberos by Robert Viduya <robert@shangri-la.gatech.edu>
    on 30-Oct-91)
  - Allows all of Kerberos 4 (clients *and* servers) to compile and run on
    SunOS 4.1.x, Encore Umax 4.3 (using GCC), and NeXT Mach 2.1.
  - Breaks kadmind -- current code does not work "right" as it truncates
    passwords to 8 bytes.  I recommend *not* turning on -DESP.  However,
    it is a start at adding password quality checking to kadmind.

Note: This copy of the patch does not include the ispell-based code due to
ispeel limitations on use and redistribution.

I suggest carefully looking over this stuff since I haven't done so myself:-)

Since I made this available, MIT has announced a later (final) release of
Kerberos 4 than 900104 I believe.  I haven't looked at it, so you may find
similar fixes there.
