It's an authentification protocol. Here an excerpt of the control
file:
Kerberos is a system for authenticating users and services on a
network. Kerberos is a trusted third-party service. That means that
there is a third party (the kerberos server) that is trusted by all
the entities on the network (users and services, usually called
"principals").
Look at the non-us packages kerberos4kth* to begin with. Don't know
about the differences between version 4 and 5.
