Hi,

I was looking at libkrb5 for the public API mirroring "in_data" in 
krb5_mk_req()
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-current/doc/appdev/refs/api/krb5_mk_req.html

But I failed to find any.
It looks like you're supposed to get the Authenticator and  then the 
checksum from the Authenticator manually and compare it against a 
checksum you manually build.
But many of the needed call are either listed as deprecated or not to be 
called directly and the comp_cksum() call that the KDC uses for TGS-REQs 
aren't even public.

Have I missed some part of the API or are there really no easy way to 
verify the cksum created by mk_req() in_data ?

/Peter
