	Hello to  all;

	I have a couple of problems operating kerberos V4 :

	- The system does'nt verify or does'nt verify  correctly 
	the passwords of principales.  For instance, a principal "hua"
	can 'change' his password by supplying a false 'old password".
	Moreover, an adminstrator (in kerberos sense) can modify the
	database without necessarily giving the correct 
	"admin password"(it can even press just <RETURN>).

	- Executing the command "get principale_name" (in kadmin) as
	an administrator (instance "admin") gives the following error
	message : "kadm error: Insufficient access to perform requested operation."

	If not for  this two problems, things work fine so far :
	the  sample cl/srv program, the remote services (rlogin, rsh
	rcp) all work good.  For your information, as I don't have 
	export licence for the DES library of MIT, I used the one
	written by Eric Young in Australia.

	any suggestion is apprectiated ...
