The recently announced OSF DCE includes an authorization service that uses 
Kerberos V5 as the authentication engine.  Objects (files, entries in the name
system, entries in the authentication/authorization database) are protected by
access control lists (ACLs) and principal privileges/identity appear in
privilege attribute certificates (PACs).  PACs are sealed in the authorization
data field of a V5 ticket.

System specifications from the OSF are forthcoming.
