The Kerberos API is not exposed in the SEAM distribution of
Kerberos. This was done to encourage people to code through
the GSSAPI and use the KRB5 mechanism that is distributed as
part of SEAM. You wont find the KRB5 headers or libraries
with the SEAM distribution, all Kerberos functionality is built
into the krb5 mechanism.
