Short answer: YES. HP has demonstrated this functionality through a set of
patches to fix the KRB5 bugaboos wrt DCE. John Brezak of the HP DCE team
gave a presentation on this last August @ the DCE Developer's conference.
You can also ping Doug Engert @ Argonne on this. He has done extensive
testing on this matter. His email is DEEngert@anl.gov.

If I am not mistaken, you can get the two to cooperate if you are using
Betas 3, 5 and 6. With DCE 1.2.2 you will not have to jerk yourself around
-- it will be (officialy) supported (and tested) in the baseline OSF code.

You will indeed.
