In order to use Kerberos to our best advantage, we need to have both v4
and v5 services available.
We need this because many of the microcomputer-based applications which
so desperately need authentication are available only in version 4
implementations.
The best way to do this, I think, is to have something that listens on
the v4 port (750) and translates that into requests on the v5 port (88),
then translates the response back again.
An alternative would be, I suppose, to hack a V4 to use the V5 database,
and simply run two servers. Anyone done this?
