Yes, this is why I said that it is possible that V4 wire protocol support
on the server may also be supported. I have been advocating this at the OSF
and have it on the project list (but at a lower priority than certifying
the V5 inter-operability since the latter is simply a testing activity with
little or no new development). It would be useful to get feedback from
Kerberos users to help increase the priority of the V4 compatibility code
(unfortunately commercial priorities are driven by consumer demand...)
