Yes, the KRB5B5 code only for HP-UX 9.01.  The auto configure did a 
pretty good job, but I needed to add an extra compile define, -D_HPUX_SOURCE,
to get it to build.

I did not use any installation method provided by the distribution, as
my purpose for building the code was interoperability testing with
previous K5 releases, so I cannot comment on how well that works.
The /krb5/krb.conf converter script worked ok, once you told it
where your copy of perl is.

The KDC and client utilities all worked.  I never did get logged in
using rlogin. The session just hung  and I never saw a shell prompt.
The Kerberos authentication component of rlogin appeared to work, I
had a host/ service ticket in my cred cache, and the krlogind and rlogin
programs were running, but in a hung state.

If you mean the ./krb5-beta4.5/src/lib/krb4 tree, it uses the
autoconfigure mechanism.
