Bill Morris, In response to you note:

I believe you need two sets of principals, each with their own key.

Add krbtgt.FOO@BAR  and krbtgt.BAR@FOO to Both KDCs.

Since there are two keys, you can actually have the cross-realm
work in only one direction! but Don't ask me which way is which.

In effect the receiving KDC uses the entry in its database much
like a server would use the srvtab entry to find the key to use
to decode the entry.

Kerberos 5 works the same way, but DCE uses only one entry,
much like you had tried.

Hopes this helps.
