The problem here is that the code in question is in the kernel. I
don't think Sun has ever given permission for others to distribute
modified kernels... especially when the modifications deal with NFS...

The particular kernel change is simple (and not kerberos-related,
really, it just adds a mapping database to the kernel, so that all of
the Kerberos support can be in a seperate client) and I'm somewhat
disappointed that it never made it into any mainstream OS releases.
