I've not completely installed the patches Bill provided to do KDC hinting on
string-to-key salting, since I'm not convinced his implementation is exactly
what we want.
His changes put a self-contained salt field in every entry of the database,
which may end up using quite a bit of space.
I think I'd prefer to have some shorthand used, with perhaps some "magic"
values for the salt field indicating that the normal salt or one of a short
list of common alternatives should be used; this could considerably reduce the
space requirements for each entry.
Ideas/comments? See krb5-bugs #72 for his patches if you care to inspect
before commenting.
