Hello,

   I have two problems with kdb5_edit .  I'm willing to do the work to
fix them but are they improvements that you all are interested in?


   1) krb5_edit does not set the alt_salt and alt_key fields on added
principals and consequently they are not usable for V4 compatability.
kadmin on the other hand does do this setup correctly.  I know the man
page says "V5 principal database" only.


   2) xst4 should be clever about translating service names, e.g.

	xst4 dark.sdsc.edu host

should put rcmd/dark into the v4-srvtab that it creates (and do other
translations, forward or back, for service name -- like
krb5_425_conv_principal).  Otherwise I either end up with an rcmd
entry that I keep up to the kvno by hand, or I emacs the
/etc/krb-srvtab .


Thank you,
Andrew Gross
