Could someone who is knowledgeable on kerberosIV on FreeBSD give me a hand.

I am just tryng to have a client authenticate to a server with
mutual authnetication, the error I keep getting on the client side is:
./s: cannot authenticate to server: Generic kerberos error (kfailure)

and on the server: sample_server: Kerberos error: Can't decode authenticator
                                  (krb_rd_req)

This is straight from the sample kerberos client/server sample from
athena-dist.mit.edu:/pub/kerberos/bones.tar.Z (just changing the service name
to a name for which there is already a key for).

I would be very appreciative for any help on this.

Thanks
David
