Although there is a stash file krb5_util complains that the key is corrupted
when I try to load the contents of the old database to the new one.  By the
way, are there any plans to provide a function to change the database master
key and change the principals appropriately?

Do you have any suggestions as to which DES cracking tools would be useful?
Thanks.
