Most AIX admins stopped using Kerberos when the last SP frame was taken out of service... If you could give some details about your system environment this would probably increase your chance of getting a helpful answer.

IIRC kerberised users are named principals and the basic AIX commands to create, list and remove principals followed the AIX notation: mkkp to create, lskp to list and rmkp to remove those kerberised users. But those commands may not be accurate for your environment and there were commands with different names that did the same. E.g. kadmin, kdb_edit and add_principal did the same as mkkp. A good documentation about post SP Kerberos might be in the redbook: IBM Redbooks | AIX 5L Version 5.2 Security Supplement
