Sounds like things have improved since last I heard (when there was
krb5 inter-server code but clients still were krb4 only). What's the
transition mechanism? Flag day, or incremental changes?
The new code should also be worked into the pidgin and (from there)
Adium sources eventually. Zephyr is already unusable on Mac OS 10.5
because the krb4 support is gone.

P.S. Now if we just had IPv6 support too...
