   Has anyone got a Kerberos client running on a DOS PC, OS/2 PC
   or 80186/80286/80386 system.

I am currently actively working on getting Kerberos clients to run
under MS-DOS on a PS/2.  (I am actually using IBM DOS 4.0, but I
expect the code I produce for the PS/2 to compile/run without
modification under MS-DOS 2.x or higher on a PC/AT class machine.  I
am using no Micro Channel or DOS 4.0 specific features.)  At this
point I do not know _which_ clients (other than kinit, kdestroy, etc.)
I will port to actually use the tickets acquired by kinit.

Seeing as that Kerberos was, at one point, running on a PC, it should
be a relatively quick and painless process.  (ref: Jerry Saltzer's
message of 10 Mar 89).
