Cool.

The lsh kerberos support is quite limited, and contained in one
separate program, lsh-krb-checkpw. I guess it would make some sense to
have a separate (binary) package for that.

One could try compiling heimdal and/or mit kerberos, but I think
that's a project that's mostly orthogonal to lsh.

It's lsh-make-seed, and I had similar experiences as you when I tried
building lsh a while back.

Hmm, iirc it locked up my terminal, but not the entire machine. I ran
it on dryden, and I think I was able to login again and kill the
process.
