And Russ and Forsyth win the prize!  I won't claim to understand it all,
but fixing the highwire-net entry does the trick as well. I am sort of
confused by it all. Yes, Stanford Libraries uses the 36.0.0.0 domain, one
of the few (two?) class A addresses still in use, but... We have always
been told that our network is 36.48.0.0, with the netmask 255.255.0.0.

Following Russ's e-mail to me, I switched out highwire-net
entry. Following Forsyth's comments, I cleaned up the rest of
/lib/ndb/local as well. =) The following works for me -- I can get
authentication.
