I have finally gotten around to removing the problems with the latest version
of libdes (the above mentioned australian DES library).  It should now
compile correctly (I even managed to get the Imakefile correct this time :-).
I have test built the system on a sparc station 2 but have not tested the
functionality (since we are not currently using kerberos :-(.

The correct version is libdes.tar.20-05-92.Z Version 1.97.
It is currently only on ftp.psy.uq.oz.au (130.102.32.1) - I seem to be having
problems distributing it to some other sites :-(.
Please copy this new version to any archive sites contaning eBones.
Sites I know of that hold eBones (deDESed kerberos with the DES put back).
gondwana.ecr.mu.oz.au (128.250.1.63) /pub/athena/eBones-p9.tar.Z
nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) /pub/unix/security/Kerberos/eBones-p9.tar.Z
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1) /pub/athena/eBones/eBones-p9.tar.Z
The main changes in the DES library are
(from lib/des/VERSION)
Version 1.97 20/05/92 eay
        Fixed the Imakefile and made some changes to des.h to fix some
        problems when building this package with Kerberos v 4.
Version 1.96 18/05/92 eay
        Fixed a small bug in sring_to_key() where problems could
        occure if des_check_key was set to true and the string
        generated a weak key.
Version 1.94 05/05/92 eay
        Fixed an incompatibility between my string_to_key and the MIT
         version.  When the key is longer than 8 chars, I was wrapping
         with a different method.  To use the old version, define
         OLD_STR_TO_KEY in the makefile.  Thanks to
         viktor@newsu.shearson.com (Viktor Dukhovni).
Version 1.8 15/10/91 eay
        Bug in cbc_cksum.
        Many thanks to Keith Reynolds (keithr@sco.COM) for pointing this
        one out.
Version 1.40 23/10/1990 eay
        Fixed des_random_key, it did not produce a random key :-(
