   Is anyone aware of vendors who sell and support Kerberos IV or V?

The Kerberos FAQ answers this question.  I have included the
information from the most recent version below.  It may be somewhat
out of date; sadly, I have not had time recently to update the FAQ,
although I plan to soon.

   If so, who are they? What has been your experience with them?
   Do they support the GSS API?

OpenVision does, in fact it is their GSS-API that is distributed with
the MIT Kerberos distribution.  I believe that CyberSAFE also supports
the GSS-API.  I don't know about the others.
