The Kerberos 5 components in both 2.0 and 2.0.1 of MIT Kerberos for 
the Macintosh are currently PowerPC-only.  We are unable to create 
68K versions due to bugs in the Metrowerks linker, but we are working 
to resolve this and hope to have 68K versions in the future.  And 
yes, the minimum system supported by all components is Mac OS 7.6.1.

Both these system requirements are noted in the read me that comes 
with the distribution, and we will update the Kerberos web page to 
mention them as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
