The Windows OpenAFS client does not support the rx based kaserver
protocol.  It only supports the Kerberos v4 protocol which was also
supported by kaserver.  For Kerberos v5 support, the users must install
a Kerberos v5 implementation.  The only one supported at present is MIT
Kerberos for Windows.  Heimdal support will be available shortly.
