yes, this is true, but it don't want support kerberos :)

my idea is: recompile all these packages without kerberos support and
make decision about policy that we don't want kerberized packages into
main. after this, move all main krb (libs + apps) stuff to contrib.
if someone want kerberized version, then he can rebuild packge
--with-krb or similar..

thanks for interest..
