Why do you say that this is u2u? Fred and Barney are workstations, not
users. Why wouldn't the standard mechanism of rcp on Fred getting a
service ticket for host/Barney and Barney verifying that ticket from
its /etc/v5srvtab file work?

I'm not at all sure why you say that. I use krlogin, krsh and krcp
regularly to remote hosts with /etc/v5srvtab files. As far as I know,
krlogin, krsh and krcp work *only* if the server host has a
/etc/v5srvtab file, and don't understand u2u at all (at least, that was
true as of V5 beta 4; I don't know if it was significantly changed in
V5 beta 5, although I doubt it).
(Incidentally, although I wrote the above from the V5 perspective, it's
equally true for V4.)
