i'm trying to understand how cross-realm authentication works in
Kerberos v4. for example, if i have two servers, one for REALM1
and another for REALM2, and two clients hostA in REALM1 and
hostB in REALM2, what do i need to do to get something like
a kerberizes rsh to allow a user authenticated on hsotA in
REALM1 to be able to rsh to hostB? i've tried a number of things
but the specifics seem to be eluding me :)

another related question, i'm stuck with v4 because that's where
IBM's SP2 software is at the moment. but if i had an external
v5 server, would it be able to participate? (e.g. users authenticated
to the external v5 server being able to cross-authenticate to 
the v4 realms?).
