How does something like this look for a section layout?:

* Background (what is, V vs IV, etc)
* Installation of a Heimdal KDC
* Kerberizing a server with Heimdal services (telnetd, basically)
* Kerberizing a client with Heimdal
* Testing & troubleshooting
* Differences with the MIT port
	* Server
	* Client

I'm planning on pulling much of the material in bits n' pieces from
documentation I've written for ROSPA[1] and fitting into a Handbook-ish
framework.
