Yeah.. I got the Cyngus Kerberos4pl10 to compile under NetBSD0.9 using gcc.
A friend also has this same code running on Linux.
It works with the KDC we have on campus running on a DECstation. 
We've noticed interoperability problems with the Cygnus kit on two platforms -
IRIX4 and Alpha/OSF1.  On IRIX4, we cannot kinit or rlogin. It is appears that the
IRIX box cant construct a proper ticket request and get it out to the KDC. On the
Alpha, you can kinit and rlogin, but klogind is messed up..

I have the Sandia Kerberos5 stuff at home now... I will try to get it running on
NetBSD in Krb4 compatibility mode as soon as I have time.. I have so many more
pressing issues to deal with that it make take time.
