We've been using it a little lately, and it seems to work (we added a
postgres principle, but that was about it) -  one think which would be
nice, though, is multiple authentication methods for the same
database, keyed by user. While you might want to use kerberos for
standard users, you  might like to give an unprivileged one access to
some simple selects, to give one example.
