Try using Cygnus's kerberos v4. I had no problem compiling it on my Alpha 400
4/ 233 0SF/1 3.2. I did have to edit about the C files and change a cast or
something like that, But it was nothing I had to call tech support about. I
am using dec terminal server whitch us kerberos, and it is working very well.
I have a Linux machine setup as a kerberos v4 slave for backup.
