Re: heimdal 1.0.1 w2k interop

The only tool I'm aware of is ktpass that instructs W2K3SP1[!] domain 
controller[!] to use rc4 on trust[!] key. I admittedly was not clear 
this time, but we have problems with W2KPro[!] unjoined[!] 
workstation[!], with Windows integrated Kerberos. Point is that without 
proposed patch *nothing* happens on W2KPro. It sends a request, gets 
"you should pre-authenticate" reply [with PA_ENCTYPE_INFO2 structure 
alone] and just stops there. Once again, because it apparently 
requires/expects PA_ENCTYPE_INFO structure and doesn't get one. Even 
second problem mentioned in 1st message was occurring long before any 
trust magic can happen, w2k (and even xp) client was failing to 
pre-authenticate getting first TGT. Cheers. A.
