password incorrect but it's not, works fine with Solaris + MIT?

[Jeff Blaine]

Thanks for the replies, Steve and Marcus.

I have no enctype settings specified in either my kdc.conf
or krb5.conf on the client(s) as I was under the impression
that was the best practice.

Steve, from what I understand, you did not require all users
to change passwords (re-key) in order for things to work,
correct?

I've tried adding explicit enctype settings in both kdc.conf
and krb5.conf (a list including the defaults according to
the MIT krb5 docs + des-cbc-crc:afs3) and that did not seem
to help any.

I also tested this on a RHELv4 box (instead of the RHELv3
box mentioned in the original message to the list) and got
the same error.
