YES, YES, YES!!!!
I'm in the _exact_ same boat. And to be honest, the source code to other
kerberized apps have been less than revealing. I've seen lots of things
that say, "You can add Kerberos to your application with only a few function
calls"; that may be true, but I have no idea which function calls they are!
