- In the testing I did, everything works but kadmin/kpasswd. So if you
have SEAM clients you can do the everyday kerberos stuff without
problems. Personally, I would just install the same software
everywhere.

- As I recall Sun's answer to the interoperablity problem was to use
a secured web page to do adminstration[1]. We just laughed at them,
who's going to enter/delete 4000 users every September by mouse?
We asked about an api to their admin system and it was entirely
obvious that they had never even though about it.
