DES transition
==============

The krb5-1.8 release disables single-DES cryptosystems by default.  As
a result, you may need to add the libdefaults setting
"allow_weak_crypto = true" to communicate with existing Kerberos
infrastructures if they do not support stronger ciphers.

Does/will this apply to us?
Heimdal did this a long time ago, so yes.  If you wish to use DES, you
have to set that in your krb5.conf.

Hi
I'm using S4 out of the box on openSUSE 12.1. All the Kerberos
transactions seem to choose arcfour.
Does the des stuff apply to me?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
You need to enable weak crypto if you want to use kerberos with apps
which depends on des (e.g nfs, openafs).

Mmm. That's what I thought. I added that line to krb5.conf before using nfs. I commented it and it still works. The s4 nfs transactions seem to choose arcfour, not des. I can't find this documented anywhere but noises on the nfs kernel list suggest that the weak crypto is not now necessary. Will leave the line commented until nfs explodes at some stage.
Cheers,
Steve
