This bug report is for KRB5, beta 4, patchlevel 3.

The "preauth_search_list" array declared at the beginning of kadmin.c  
specifies the preauth type of KRB5_PADATA_ENC_TIMESTAMP.  However, this  
preauth type is no longer listed in the "preauth_systems" array defined in  
preauth.c.  It looks like KRB5_PADATA_ENC_TIMESTAMP was supposed to be  
replaced with KRB5_PADATA_ENC_UNIX_TIME.

This bug doesn't cause any immediate problems because out-of-the-box  
kadmin doesn't actually do any preauthentication.

A quick grep shows that ksu and kpasswd also specify  
KRB5_PADATA_ENC_TIMESTAMP.

Solution:  Not sure, because I don't know why beta 4 switched to  
ENC_UNIX_TIME.  My guess is that all occurrences of ENC_TIMESTAMP should  
be changed to ENC_UNIX_TIME.
