Not to directly answer your question, but: since you've got ssh working Kerberosly (Kerberized?), why look for more problems writing your own protocol and endpoints? Set up sudo or the like and let them ssh in to whatever target box and use that to kick off whatever service.

(Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to start. More details as to what you're trying to do and why you think you need a dedicated server that's gotta speak kerberos itself might help)

Update: And after some thought a suggestion if you are bound and determined to do your own service: if your OS supports Kerberos through pam you might could use Authen::PAM to do the Kerberezation under pam's covers rather than trying to do it yourself (then again I don't know how you handle using pam from a stand-alone service so that might be a wild goose chase . . .).

The cake is a lie.
