Normally (at least with FreeBSD) you have to add a special incantation to /etc/make.conf to get kerberos at all, so normally you won't have it. Just remove the stuff in /etc/kerberosIV, and it will (mostly) be disabled. You may still have to explicitly specify things like "passwd -l". (You will still get kerberos warning messages.)
