The following are mostly nits:
1) krb5_precisetimeofday (int32 *, int16 *)
I don't like "precise" as a part of the name here. If it were
accurate to ns, maybe :-) ..
2) krb5_get_ad_tkt()/krb5_get_cred().
I don't think the "fetch" parameter to krb5_get_cred serves any
purpose; can you think of any reason for it to be "false"?
There's no way in this interface to get a ticket from the KDC and NOT
put it in the cache; I think that get_ad_tkt shouldn't take a
tcache_name as a parameter.
3) stylistic:
I prefer function signatures where the "input" arguments are at the
beginning of the argument list, and the "output" arguments are at the
end; the kerberos library has a mixture of the two, and this should be
cleaned up.
