The problems we've had with Kerberos have not been platform specific. These problems occur on each platform we use it on, not just FreeBSD. I've found that the ANL patches fix most of them. I'd be interested to see your patches too. I've found that the lastlog problem is the only problem specific to FreeBSD, as all others we've encountered occur on other platforms as well. A solution to this problem would be to move the lastlog struct from utmp.h to a new lastlog.h and have utmp.h reference lastlog.h. This would make FreeBSD conform to Solaris, SunOS, DEC UNIX, AIX, and Linux which do have one.
