I read about the fact that crc is not collision-proof whereas md5 is.  Can anyone comment on the benefit of using md5 over crc for Kerberos keys?

If I set up my KDC's and all principals with des_cbc_crc keys but now desire to use des_cbc_md5 do I have to start from scratch?

I know 3des is better,  Unfortunately I'm dealing with devices that only support des.
