I'm having some difficulty bootstrapping my understanding of Kerberos
programming. Is there any good place to look for documentation that
really describes the "right" kinds of things to do with Kerberos (I
also want to make sure I'm not trying to use Kerberos to do something
its really not designed to do). For example, there's a lot of code out
there which allows somebody authenticated to Kerberos to authenticate
themselves to a service, but I'm really looking to have a client
program run by an unauthenticated user (who doesn't have a Kerberos
login) authenticate itself to a particular server. Any good examples
of this floating around that somebody could suggest? By the way, I'm
still stuck back in Kerberos 4 ...

Thanks!
