Ah, if it were so straightforward. Unfortunately, this isn't the case;
there are some changes to munitions-export regulations that make it
easier to export controlled cryptography, but that assumes that the
crypto in question is exportable in the first place.
The situation is described nicely in the Kerberos FAQ,
<http://www.faqs.org/faqs/kerberos-faq/general/section-15.html>.
Perhaps the best bet would be to get the BL binary RPMs included with
the rest of the binary distributions at MIT (see
<http://web.mit.edu/network/kerberos-form.html>) or use a similar set
of questions for distribution locally.
Having said THAT, krb5 *has* been exported; they've got RPMs for Red
Hat on i386 at replay.com. I can't remember if replay just imports it
and relies on the Dutch government for protection from US authorities,
or if they built them themselves (from scanned source, for instance).
If anyone comes across legit source for krb5 outside the US, I'd
happily build it here and import it.
