All good suggestions. Apparently the packets were going back to the KDC (I assume AS) not some other registry or service, so I'm thinking maybe it wasn't another service. I'm leaning towards a broken implementation as the explanation. I'll try to have a look at the sniffed packets to see what it's

> No, that's the beauty of Kerberos. Thanks Luke. Someone tells me they've been sniffing and found that one particular implementation does in fact hit the KDC to validate the ticket. I wonder if it's actually hitting the KDC for some other purpose. Getting further information perhaps .. I guess th

Sorry if this is a bit newbie .. This is my hypothetical scenario: I have a client process that authenticates to the KDC. I get a TGT as part of that transaction I think. I go back to the TGS with my TGT and get a ticket to access some service. Now that service ticket should be encrypted with a k
