DCE KDC server for K4 client

To: authtf@es.net, kerberos@MIT.EDU

We saw the attached article on the DCE News group.
This raises some questions:

a. Is it true that the DCE KDC will not serve a Kerberos 4 client?
   The MIT version 5 KDC does support Kerberos 4.
   I assume this means listening on port 750 and returning a Version 4
   ticket when a Version 4 request is received.

b. We want to use the DCE KDC to get Forwardable Version 5 tickets.
   Then we want to use krb524 (running on the DCE machine) to get
   a Version 4 ticket and aklog to get an AFS token.
   Is this procedure likely to work?
