which is equally important. me, i also write something, which is ... erhm ... 
suboptimal, just to learn something new. (this is how i learned 
LibFoundation, implemented a simple login screen (with freebsd's syscon). i 
never released this one, because i was afraid of security concerns ;)).

speak up, if you need help.
i wrote a (very) small authentication with krbv4 once,
and i am pretty sure, i got some urls left ;)

btw: if you want to go kerberos ;), take kerberos 5, it is way ahead of 
kerberos 4.
