 Shawn, I believe that a fellow out at LLNL did some preliminary testing
 of DCE and Kerberos V5 Beta version and there was a slight problem
 between the DCE tickets and the Kerberos V5 tickets. Result was that
 they were not completely compatible. (DCE based on Kerberos V5 Alpha
 code I think.) One would suspect that DCE updates should eventually
 upgrade to the more current Kerberos V5 ticket versions to make life
 simpler for us all...
