There is a function in the krbv4win.dll that easily allows an application
to call the equivalent of kinit. Check out the source for leash to get a
feeling for the existing API. Leash also gives you users an equivalent to a
stand alone kinit for Windows. Put it into the startup group and run it
minimized.
mk_app_req() is one of the many functions supported in the DLL and in the
static libraries for DOS. The API is a superset of the MIT UNIX Kerberos
libraries.

No, not yet. Anyone volunteering to write one?
