Actually it seems to happen for all princpals that already existed before 
the upgrade - or whatever the reason was, call it a point in time - I 
haven't seen these issues for newly created ones.

I do have password policies enabled, and AFAIK I modified the length of 
the history - it had been set to 10 , and I changed it to 3 - and then 
reapplied the policy to all the users - might this be causing trouble? I 
didn't consider these modifications at all, but the issues could be 
completely unrelated to the upgrade but be related to these modifications 
...

> Also, what release of krb5 did you upgrade from?
Don't really know, it was the version in debian/testing before the current 
one ... - but as I said above, the upgrade might indeed not be the real 
issue...

Thanks for your help,
Michael
