I would _guess_ (but have not confirmed) that the Cygnus version of KerbNet
uses the Cygnus password changing protocol, but you definately have to
use the v5passwdd protocol with the MIT NT release.

Well, I personally lay my money on the Cygnus protocol; it's an
internet draft, _and_ it's the simplest out of all of the protocols.
