Anybody know how to do cross-realm authentication in Kerberos V4?
(specifically, CNS)

Say I would like access to rcmd in realm B, but I'm authenticated
in realm A. The project Athena paper that I have mentions that any 
two realms can be set up to share a common key, and allow access based
on credentials from the other realm, but it doesn't give enough details
on how to do it.

And I haven't seen the answer in any other documentation I've found.

Post here, or e-mail me at the address below.

Thanks!
