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.
