There are several things we'd like feedback on during the Kerberos V5
beta test:

1) if you port to anything other than 4.3BSD/VAX, 4.3BSD/RT, or
Ultrix3.1/DEC MIPS, let us know, and please send back a config file;
especially helpful would be non-32bit machines, and non-UNIX machines.

2) If you are converting v4 applications to v5, please let us know which
ones you're doing, and whether you have any problems or comments on how
to make the process easier.

3) If you're doing new applications on v5, let us know what they are,
and if possible contribute them for our eventual public distribution.

4) When you are developing new applications, you want to consider
using the GSS API, a generic security interface which lets you do
things like Authenticate, Sign, Seal, Verify and their converses.  We
are cooperating with other groups to experiment with a "Generic
Authentication API" which might make coverting programs between
different security architectures easier; initial implementations of
the GSS API for Kerberos V5 and SPX have already be written.  A
description of this interface can be found in doc/gssapi/*.  Warning:
this interface is still being developed; both its design and its
various implementations are still at the alpha-quality stage, and are
subject to change.

5) if you have a true POSIX system, we'd appreciate any comments on
anything we botched in setting up the POSIX uses (see esp. lib/os/*.c)
