Alas, we found that it's a wee bit more complex than that.  After applying the
patch, rebuilding libkrb5.a, and relinking the krb5kdc and [V5] kinit
executables, we were able to successfully get ticket granting tickets from
kinit.

However, the kclients (like ktelnet) subsequently yielded the following error:

[ Kerberos V5 refuses authentication because Read req failed: Clock skew too great ]

We found it necessary to install relinked versions of the kclients and their
respective servers for V5 authentication to work properly.

Sites running a slave server will also find it necessary to relink kprop
and kpropd on the master and slave hosts, respectively.
