It's even worse than that - in some cases, it encrypts with one enctype,
but records it as another :-)
If you _really_ need it now, I can send you a couple of patches that makes
this work.
BTW, this brings up an interesting question; when you change your password
with the new kadmind that's coming out, will you keep your old enctype,
or will you get converted to the supported_enctypes list? If we've voting,
I vote for the latter :-)
