To anyone who has had the same problem...

We're using a Xyplex 1640 terminal server currently running Kerberos V4, 
that communicates w/ our master server running Kerberos V5 Beta 5.  Our 
keys are added in version 4 format and work fine most of the time.  
However, once in a while the terminal server begins rejecting the 
passwords of our users, despite the fact that their keys exist and are 
correct.  Resetting the terminal server fixes the problem.  I'm 
considering going to Version 5 of Kerberos on the terminal server, but 
wanted to ask this group to see if anyone has had similar problems and 
found out the actual cause (bug in Xyplex's client software, etc).  Any 
help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.
