   Is there a version of aklog which will work with Kerberos version 5.4.1?
   (Aklog would get a AFS token using a Kerberos V4 ticket.)

krb524, which is included as part of MIT Kerberos V5, was developed
for this purpose.  It converts a V5 ticket into a V4 ticket, and you
can then use aklog with the V4 ticket.  The command sequence looks
like this:

% kinit 			# gets V5 tgt
Password for bjaspan@GZA.COM:
% k524init 			# gets a V4 tgt from the V5 tgt, no password
% aklog				# gets tokens using the V4 tgt

Everyone at our site has used this system every day for over a year
and we've had no problems.  The source code is in the krb524 directory
of the Kerberos V5 distribution.
