I haven't tried yet, I'm on Debian stable ( perl 5.6, apache 1.3 ).
I'd be interested to see the errors you are running into.

I once hacked in NT support as proof-of-concept, but I want to make
this more generic and modular so we can support seperate authentication
and authorization services.

The basic idea is :

1) turn off MD5 Javascript hashing in the login.html and sandweb-admin
2) copy lib/SandWeb/Auth/Flatfile.pm to e.g. Kerberos.pm and make 
   it return a 1 if the user is ok, 0 if not
3) make lib/SandWeb/Auth.pm use Kerberos.pm instead of Flatfile.pm

So it's possible right now, but better to wait until this is supported
by us.
Then you'll just have to flip a switch in sandweb.cfg, and maybe
write your own Kerberos.pm ( and send it to us so you don't have
to maintain it:) ).

We won't be in a position to support this until a post-1.0 release
most likely.

I didn't see any errors in this email, can you resend?
