Properly speaking, questions about Linux or Linux-Athena should be addressed
to the maillist "linux-help@mit.edu", not "linux-dev@mit.edu". Further
follow-ups should be sent to linux-help and not linux-dev.

Yes, it does support kerberos.

No, if you want to use Kerberos to access your machine remotely, you'll need
to install a srvtab on it. A srvtab is more or less a secret key which you
store on your computer so your computer can verify your authentication when
you attempt to log in to it over the network. You can send mail to
accounts@mit.edu requesting a srvtab.

It seems unlikely, but someone else can probably address this more fully.
