 If any one has any docs or is willing to share some code samples for

 appreciated.

The krb5 disto from MIT includes two sample programs (sserver and 
sclient) which demonstrate how kerberos initiates, accepts and
establishes a connection.  Looking at this code should give you
some ideas.

Most of the Unix-based Kerberos distributions include sample applications
in them to give you an idea of where to start.  However ... what you need
to look at really depends on the protocol you're using.  Are you using a
protocol such as IMAP that already has Kerberos in it's framework?
If so, then the best bet is to look at other example implementations of
IMAP that also do Kerberos to get an idea of the sorts of things you need
to do.  If you've got your own protocol, you're going to have to figure
out how Kerberos fits into your protocol's framework, and use one of the
sample applications as a starting point.
