   An update:

     After finding a current archive for the kerberos@mit.edu mailing list and
spending most of the day going through it, I've come to the conclusion that the
answer to this question is either:

	A secret.  :-)

	Unknown(Nobody's done it).

     I saw at least three other posts in the mailing list archive asking
essentially the same question.  None of them have follow-ups.

     I saw a reference in a post from back in December about a command called
"av4k".  This command seems to have disapeared from the current release.  Kinda
glad actually.  Having to maintain two lists of keys would be annoying.

     Does the solution to this involve using krb524?  Looking at the README 
seems to indicate that the answer is "No."  

     There must ba a way.  I have some legacy hardware(Telebit NetBlazers) and
some old software(Mac KTelnet and some httpd servers/browsers) that need V4
support.  

     Help!

Chris...
