The section 3 manual pages for kerberos is a good place to start.
For coding examples you could look at the sample client-server pair
included in the Kerberos distribution, or the kerberized login code
(available form ftp.uu.net). If you have Ultrix, the Ultrix Network
manual includes a programming example using kerberos library functions,
although some of these functions are specific to the Ultrix Kerberos
implementation.
