Krb5 beta5 defect report

Problem:
An AS request to get a TGT using timestamps preauthentication
(KRB5_PADATA_ENC_UNIX_TIME) will fail if the salt associated
with the principal's account is not the default.

Suggested Fix:
The KDC should return the actual salt in the error packet 
extensible data field (e-data) of the AS response. The client
should then retry the AS request by constructing a new
DES key (and new padata) with the salt returned in the error packet.

Diffs:
Not trivial, will provide if requested.
