I am working on an application that has two servers which will periodically
need to talk to each other. We are prototyping it using K4. The client/server
authentication was no problem, but it is not obvious (yet) how 
one application server can authenticate itself to another since it
does not have a tgt_file, only a srvtab. It does not seem that I can 
simply use the krb_sendauth/recvauth pair.

I am now studying the source code, but would appreciate any help from an
expert.
