|has anyone successfully compiled Kerberos V4 under Solaris 2.3?

Yes - most of it.  I haven't ported the applications in the "bsd," "tftp,"
or "knetd" directories because I only need the server and libraries.

|As it stands, the code does not seem to have any support for Solaris
|(although the FAQ's imply that it is supported),

Judging by the amount of work required to build it, they shouldn't.

|we require V4 specifically to work with the Mandarin software.

Ditto.  V5 builds like a charm (sans crypto libraries, of course), but
we're planning on using Mandarin also.

There are two things we can do.  Either get

ftp://ftp.cs.waikato.ac.nz/pub/packages/kerberos/krb4-ard-farted.tar.gz

...which is an archive of my whole kerberos source tree I made a while back
for someone else here at the university struggling to build krb4 on any
platform.

The problem with that is that I have changed various pathnames and other
bits and pieces, and you won't know what differs from the stock
distribution ("eBones.tar.Z").  For example, I've changed all the macros
using "/kerberos/..." to "/opt/kerberos/..."  Also, if you're like me, you
won't want to build system software that someone else has fiddled with.
Here's plan B:

Get "eBones.tar.Z" from one of the main sites and apply some of the changes
described in my notes file (which I'll mail you if you request it).  You
can decide for yourself which changes are local customisations and which
are purely porting issues, and you'll get a good idea of how the code works
in the process.

Good luck
