Anyone has experience of MIT krb5 implementation on FreeBSD ?

The handbook has a chapter on setting up Kerberos, albeit focused on Heimdal.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kerberos5.html

In section 14.8.6 it notes that the kadmin protocol differs between
Kerberos implementations -- you have to use the MIT kadmin to administer
a remote MIT KDC.

Other than the kadmin bits (which are fairly different between the two
but isn't used by end-users anyway), it's pretty much transparent to a
Kerberos-enabled workstation which implementation it's using. I
typically install both (to different paths to avoid file conflicts)
because I like using the newest Heimdal rather than the one in base and
also because the included client applications differ. For example, MIT
has Kerberos rsh whereas the base Heimdal doesn't for some of the
platforms that I use.

If you run into any specific issues when setting it up, please post back
to the list and cc me and I'll give you a hand.
