What are the various ways in which I can use kerberos routines to do the
encryption and decryption of the packets? I'm not really interrested in
hard coding a password in the client or server. There must be a way of
achieving what I want without hard coding a password.
You're probably best off using the gssapi libraries which are shipped
with krb5. The functions are all documented in rfc1509, and there is
a sample client/server in src/appl/gss-sample, which shows a simple
app using confidentiality and integrity.
