	   I have recently compiled v5b5 (after using, v4p9, v5b4 and 
   Cybersafe's commerical software for a coupld of years).  Upon setting
   upv5b5, and then trying a /krb5/bin/kinit, II get the following:


   [ccjason@magicbus /krb5/bin] ./kinit
   Password for ccjason@CC.UCSF.EDU: 
   kinit: No profile file open while getting initial credentials

   Any idea what this means?  What's a 'profile file'?

You need to install a /etc/krb5.conf file.  See src/config-files/krb5.conf
and src/config-files/krb5.conf.M for more information.  It's basically a
more flexible and powerful configuration file for Kerberos V5.
