I've thrown together a quick hack to do NNRP authentication with a
Kerberos password. This DOES NOT include Kerberos authentication via
ticket passing -- it only compares a username/password pair against the
corresponding Kerberos V principal/password.
You can specify different Kerberos instances on the commandline, making
for instance-based access to newsgroups pretty slick.
For those interested, the package is available at

It's been in use for about five days in my environment without any
problems.
