The CIS department here at the university of Guelph uses hesiod
for distrubting the kerberos database.. seems to work fine. we use
lots of FreeBSD clients - although the machine running hesiod, etc. is
a DEC 2100 (running 4.3BSD Reno, nonetheless!)

I'd also be interested in trying it out on FreeBSD. I don't see why
it wouldn't work.
