	I don't think the concept of salt type per say became a
user-visible concept until after beta-5.  (Yes, it was important inside the code and in the protocol, but I don't think the user interface or documentation discussed it).

	Basically, you need to use the av4k command to add a
v4-compatible key to th database.  Also, it's important to make sure
that the ticket granting key (krbtgt/REALM@REALM) is a v4 key; if this
isn't the case, use the v4 change password command in kdb5_edit to
change the password of this key.
