Thanks to the following people:
      aidan_at_cse.unsw.edu.au (Aidan Williams)
      Henning Fruechtenicht <fruechte_at_rz5.rz.fh-wilhelmshaven.de>
      Jon Buchanan <Jonathan.Buchanan_at_ska.com>
      king_at_reston.ans.net (Greg King)
      apt_at_UH.EDU (Alan Pfeiffer-Traum)
      iwm_at_uvo.dec.com

There's documentation in the form of an SPD (Software Product
Description) at the following location:

      ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/SPD/47-56-01.txt

As to the ethical question, several thought that I was fine so long
as I didn't use the MIT encryption set. There seem to be several
different, but comparable, varieties available.

A couple of people thought that DECathena might be more than I
actually needed, as it comes bundled with lots of other stuff
besides Kerberos. I have since learned that DEC has just
released the Kerberos set on it's own. The SPD for it is number
63.93.00. I have a copy if anyone is interested and can't
find a copy.

Thanks for the responses.

Lyn
