It's still in our tree, and linked into the programs that access the
Kerberos database directly, but we're no longer installing it. We
don't want to be in the business of supporting a general-purpose
database package.
What we're (still) using is an old version of the Berkeley/Sleepycat
database package, with some bug fixes. (We can't update because of
licensing issues.) You might want to check the Sleepycat web site,
and/or look up the BDB sources in your favorite open-source OS
distribution.
Or, you could tweak the Kerberos sources to install the db library on
your system ... but if you run into problems with db unrelated to its
use in the KDC and related programs we ship, we don't support it.
