I updated my "xkinit" program so that it links against krb5-beta7.

Here's the message I posted in August about it, which explains what it
is and where to get it....

I finally got around to adding V5 support to my X kinit client and
cleaning it up just barely enough that I'm not ashamed to let other
people see the code, so I'm making it available on the off chance that
it'll be useful to some people (and that some people might improve it
and send me the patches :-).

It's available from <URL:ftp://ftp.cam.ov.com/pub/users/jik/xkinit.tgz>.

Here are some excerpts from the README....

This is xkinit, an Xaw interface to obtaining Kerberos tickets.  It
supports getting V4 tickets, getting V4 tickets on a remote host with
the rkinit protocol (if you have the rkinit library installed), and/or
getting V5 tickets.

You need an ANSI compiler (or at least a preprocessor that supports
concatenation of adjacent string constants) to compile xkinit.  Please
don't bother sending me patches to make it compile on a non-ANSI
compiler.

...

This isn't a completely polished release.  As you can see by looking
at the TODO list, there's a lot waiting to be done, most notably a man
page.

Xkinit is protected by the GNU General Public License, version 2 or
any later version.  See the file COPYING in this distribution for more
information.

If you make any bug fixes or enhancements to xkinit, or if you have
bug reports or suggestions, please let me know.
