The kerberos code in FreeBSD-CURRENT isn't Heimdal 1.1, but is code derived from it by Doug Rabson, I believe. (So, backporting kerberos from -current isn't the same thing as using Heimdal-1.1 on FreeBSD7.) I have built vanilla Heimdal-1.1 on FreeBSD7 and used it without difficulty, but I never re-linked any system binaries, I just used Heimdal-1.1 for my gssd. So I don't know what issues might be encountered re-linking FreeBSD7 sources against Heimdal-1.1. (Heimdal-1.2 fails to build, because it wants -lpthread added to some linkage, I vaguely recall.) As I said, don't know if this helps, rick
