It's probably a bad idea to set up a Kerberos server on a such a
machine. You want your Kerberos server to be a dedicated machine for
stability and security reasons. If it's going to be dedicated, you
might as well replace Windows with Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSD/OS, or
another free or inexpensive unix.
A server for Mac or Windows would be useful for experimental purposes
only. It would scare me to have my Kerberos server to not have a
password for login, even if it were locked up in a closet somewhere.
