The Kerberos 5 support in PostgreSQL has not been updated for the API
changes between whatever beta version it was written for and the final
release. I have no idea how much work it will be to fix it.
As a workaround, you could install a Kerberos IV distribution (I
prefer the one from KTH, at http://www.pdc.kth.se/kth-krb/), build
PostgreSQL with that, and let it speak V4 to the V5 software --
support for this is enabled by default in the Kerberos 5 system. A
gotcha to be aware of: you have to create the server principal for the
PostgreSQL system _without_ the domain in the instance qualifier:
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", not ".../mybox.missouri.edu@..."
Otherwise, when you've written the V5 keytab from kadmin, and you
convert it to V4 using the ktutil program, ktutil will write a V4
srvtab with the FQDN in it, which won't work.
