The second bug Dennis describes is still present in beta4, although it
is not critical, since that structure field is only ever referenced if
the KDC is compiled to use raw DES as its cryptosystem.  Currently,
the only place raw DES is used is in the GSS-API implementation.

FYI, kerberos-bugs@mit.edu is *NOT* the right place to send bug
reports on krb5.  It's for krb4 bugs.  Nobody at MIT involved with
krb5 is on that list, and according to the archive, it's only gotten
three messages in all of 1994.  The correct place to send krb5 bugs,
as given in the README file with krb5, is to the
krb5-bugs@athena.mit.edu list.

    I believe I have found two bugs in the DES library of the MIT  
    Kerberos V Beta 3 release.

    The first bug is in lib/crypto/cryptoconf.c line 91 which reads:
    #define RAW_DES_CBC_CSENTRY &krb5_des_cst_entry
    I beleive the line should read:
    #define RAW_DES_CBC_CSENTRY &krb5_raw_des_cst_entry

    The second bug is in lib/crypto/des/cs_entry.c line 51 which reads:
	ETYPE_DES_CBC_CRC,
    I beleive the line should read:
	ETYPE_RAW_DES_CBC,
