So reading through:

  http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/krb5-1.4/krb5-1.4.1/doc/krb5-install/Upgr=
ading-to-Triple-DES-and-RC4-Encryption-Keys.html#Upgrading%20to%20Triple-DE=
S%20and%20RC4%20Encryption%20Keys

(the upgrading encryption types page)... regarding this sentence "Because of
the way the MIT Kerberos database is structured, the KDC will assume that a
service supports only those encryption types for which keys are found in the
database."

That makes me think that even if kdc.conf has:

	default_tgs_enctypes =3D arcfour-hmac-md5 des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc

and krb5.conf has:

	default_tkt_enctypes =3D arcfour-hmac-md5 des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc
	default_tgs_enctypes =3D arcfour-hmac-md5 des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc

Any principals created before the switchover will obviously be stored in the
old encryption type - but during authentication, what encryption type will =
be
used between the client and the KDC?

I'm a bit confused as to what all will use the new encryption types and what
will use the old encryption types.

Thanks.
