In my experience, the beta 6 code is pretty good, but not everything
works. I've never had any problems with the bsd apps (login, rsh,
rlogin, etc etc), and I use them every day (not under solaris, though).
Popper and movemail, however, are broken in beta 6. I sent in patches
to krb5-bugs and I've been told that they were accepted, so I expect
that in beta 7 they should work fine.
If you need these patches, contact me privately.

I wouldn't mind seeing such a list.
