I am working on it. It requires a bit of beating on the source
although nothing too severe is required (or at least has been required
so far). Once I get a chance to finish up I will send the changes back
to Cygnus and hopefully they will make it into the next public
release. It will be a couple of weeks yet since I am going to be out
of the office all next week.

The above is due to the following section in osconf.h:
#ifndef KRBTYPE
/*#*/ error "configuration failed to recognize system type"
#endif
In other words, osconf.h did not get pre-processed properly and needs
to be modified.

CNS does not suport BSD/OS.

They don't support CNS unless you pay them; they state this pretty
clearly in the distribution. If I were you I would not expect to hear
back from them.
