I decided life wasn't interesting enough so I decided to try
and migrate an existing v4 realm to v5.
* The options to lddb4 are not documented anywhere; it has some tricky
interactions with master keys that I had to read the source to
understand.
* xst4 Does not convert host/foo to rcmd.first_component_of_foo as it
should. I think this is known and long-standing, but should be fixed
eventually.
* The naming of options in kadmin5, kdb5_edit and ktutil should be
made consistent
* ktutil writes out a bogus v4 srvtab that it can't read back
in. (ksrvutil also indicates problems.) It doesn't appear to do host
conversion either.
I.E. There is no way of producing a valid v4srvtab from a
v5database without custom hackery or careful application of Emacs to
the produced output.
