I believe you can count on two things in your search for an exportable
version of Kerb. 5:

  1) Since the official domestic release is only happening now, it will be a
     while before you see an exportable version of V5...

  2) A number of professional Kerb. vendors would be more than happy
     to create such a version for you (provided you have *BIG* bucks!)

Further, one would only need to modify the "des" source sub-dir. to
make it legal... If you have medium sized bucks, I can do that! :)

Another option is to have someone strip the DES out, and mail you
the encryption-less version, then you could insert any encryption
algorithm you like... But be warned (in case you don't already know)
The V5 code dwarfs the V4 code in both size and confusion...
