Hi All,

Our Active Directory environment is running Windows Server 2008 R2 and we've 
recently started deploying Kerberos across many of our Linux machines for 
Apache web authentication/single sign on. We have hopes to extend this to SSH 
authentication as well.

In testing, we have had persistent issues with Kerberos sending a name-type of 
"unknown" where the Windows 2008 R2 RODC is expecting NT-SRV-INST on TGS 
principle names. This issue appears to affect both MIT and Heimdal 
implementations of Kerberos and is discussed in length at:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.kerberos.devel/9166

It would appear this bug has been addressed in 1.9 (see 
http://src.mit.edu/fisheye/changelog/krb5/?cs=24438), however running Debian 
Lenny, we're still using the 1.6 branch. I have attempted to upgrade to 1.9 
from the "experimental" repository, however this breaks too many dependencies 
to implement in production.

Looking at how dramatically different the 1.6 and 1.9 branches are, I'm not 
confident enough to backport this patch myself, however  I was hoping someone 
might be able to help with a patch for the 1.6 releases that Debian is 
currently shipping?

Kind Regards,
Jonathan
