Encrypted Authentication

Hi everybody,

I'm new to the list and to Kerberos, so I apologize if this is a FAQ.

In my rather brief amount of reading, I've gotten the impression that
Kerberos uses DES encryption for the network-based authentication.  As
DES is relatively insecure, is there any way to force 3DES or other
encryption algorithms to be used?  How?

Thanks!
