"Since the server that will handle service tickets for this principal is
the KDC itself, it is easy to guarantee that it will be configured to
support any encryption types which might be selected."

Can anyone explain why "des-cbc-crc:normal" is listed as an encryption type
for the new krbtgt/ZONE.MIT.EDU key.  I cannot find a rationale for it in
that page.

Cheers,

Kenny.
