If you just want someone to test it I can do that. I don't actually use it
normally though.

As far as security issues the only issues I'm aware of is a) it uses plain DES
which is just a 56 bit key and crackable by brute force and b) cross-domain
authentication is broken. 

But if you just have a single domain it's a lot simpler to set up than the
poster child for second system effect, Kerberos 5.
