Sorry, having looked at the source now, I see that the weak crypto handling is specific to DES, not RC4; and if Samba were *only* using RC4, this error would not happen. However, Samba requests both RC4 and DES, a historical remnant of the time when DES was the only enctype in common between all Kerberos implementations. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
