You can start with the following block in the Makefile:

# This is for Kerberos 5 authentication. Contributed by Nathan Neulinger
# Univ. of Missouri - Rolla <nneul at umr.edu>
# KRB5_BASE = /usr/local/krb5
# KRB5_FLAGS = -DKRB5_AUTH -I$(KRB5_BASE)/include
# KRB5_LIBS = -L$(KRB5_BASE)/lib -ldes425 -lkrb5 -lcrypto -lcom_err

I haven't tested the KerbNet Samba combo yet; my little linux box is having
bus problems so I've halted the Kerbnet testing until I get the hardware
problems resolved (by way of a new motherboard).  :-(

Please let me know, via the list or by mail, if setting the above KRB5_
values works with the KerbNet implementation.

Thanks,
