I'm looking for a package to help me slot username/password information into a Kerberos server.

I've take a stab at using Authen::Krb5::Admin package and though it will install without complaints, its 'make test' fails most of its tests (on both a sparc box using perl 5.6.0 and a RH linux box with perl 5.8.0 installed). As the addprinc and changepassword methods are amongst the functions that failed in the make test, its basically useless for what I am doing.

Taking a different run at the problem I attempted to get the GSSAPI.pm installed but ran into issues with not having gssapi/gssapi_generic.h on my system (during the make for the perl module gcc (version 3.2.2) compainted about not finding this library). A Google for gssapi turns up lots of descriptions of the problem and discussions but no directions on where to obtain this C library.

Anyone run into similar issues or can offer some advice?
