   I'm having some linking problems with the supplied login.c,
   I believe that it's trying to use kv4 routines. Is this true?

Yes, it is using Kerberos V4 routines.

   Is there a clean login.c that will work in a pure kv5 environment?
   I noticed that the login.c is from Berkeley, but it appears different
   from the BSD sources from uunet. What to do?

You can turn off the dependence on Kerberos V4 by #undef'ing
AUTHENTICATE.  This will stop it from getting V4 ticket-grating-tickets
and playing that whole game.  Note that there *isn't* code in that
login.c for it to get V5 ticket-granting-tickets.  This shouldn't be
hard to do, though; it should just mean grabbing code from the kinit
program and forcing it in.  I expected that we will eventually put this
code in; we just haven't yet.
