Remember that some of the PDC functionality (if not all) went away in
favor of Active Directory support (which in my opinion is FAR better).
I just wish the Kerberos implementation wasn't so hosed on the Windows
side.  Keep some semblance of MIT's or even Heimdal would have been
nice.  But that is a dead horse I have beat sufficiently else where.

On a side bar, I have in the past gotten Win2000 boxes authenticating
against a GNU/Linux Kerberos server.
