you have to build (recompile) postgres with the kerberos libraries and 
the right src/Makefile.global settings.  (see introduction(unix), aka 
"Section 2", in the postgres 4.1 reference manual for additional info.)

postgres is shipped *without* kerberos compiled-in because:
	1. when it is compiled-in, postgres defaults to using kerberos,
	which is definitely not what *everyone* wants..
	2. it would make postgres subject to the same US export
	restrictions to which kerberos is subject.
