I've used it quite a bit for just about a year now on Solaris 8 running
Apache 1.3 and 2.0.36, and i have found no problems with it. 

 I protect the pages that authenticate against it with SSL.

An .htaccess file using it looks like this:

SSLRequireSSL
AuthType KerberosV5
AuthName "Kerberos Username and Password"
KrbAuthAuthoritative Off
require user johan


 Initially, configuration and building was a little difficult. Make sure
to read the docs thoroughly.

 Below are the contents of the Makefile i use to compile it as an Apache 2
 DSO. Maybe it'll save you a little time.

DEFS = -DAPXS2 -DKRB5 -DKRB_DEF_REALM=\\\"EWRANGLERS.COM\\\"

LIBS = -L/usr/local/krb5/lib -lkrb5 -lcom_err -lk5crypto

INC = -I/usr/local/krb5/include

APXS = /usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

mod_auth_kerb:
        $(APXS) -i -c $(DEFS) $(LIBS) $(INC) mod_auth_kerb.c

install: mod_auth_kerb
        $(APXS) -i .libs/mod_auth_kerb.so

all: mod_auth_kerb

clean:
        rm -fr .libs
        rm -f *.la *.lo *.o *.slo
