   During the build of MIT Kerberos V5 beta2, the compilation
   stopped with the error:

   ld: Undefined symbol
      _des_string_to_key

   The error is in the kadmin/kpasswd/kpasswd.c file.
   What is the correct fix for this bug?

Two things.  The immediate cause of this problem is that the in Beta 2,
kpasswd required the kerberos V4 libraries and DES libraries to build.

However, Kerberos V5 Beta3 has already been released, and it does not
have this problem; furthermore, many other bugs have been fixed.  I
would suggest that you obtain the latest release of Kerberos V5 beta3.
You can obtain it by ftp'ing to athena-dist.mit.edu, and cd'ing to
/pub/kerberos.  Get the file README.KRB5-BETA3; it will contain
instruction for obtaining the Beta3 distribution.
