Er.. there's no reason not to use Kerberos and IPsec together.

Furthermore, I have some doubt about whether IPsec really addresses
the issues of user authentication and privacy -- in many cases it
seems more applicable to host and maybe application issues.

Also, SKIP, as far as I know, is an example of an early IPsec effort,
and SSL does not address all the same issues.
