The problem is that I have a choice between:
- Changing something on the KDC, which is fairly reasonable.
- Changing something on 5000+ krb5.conf files scattered all over creation,
  which is a screaming nightmare.  And then when I finally DO want do
  support 3DES/AES for everything, I have a second screaming nightmare
  to change krb5.conf again.  Somehow that seems less than optimal.
I'm missing something here; is there a reason why the session key enctype
should _NOT_ be adjustable on the KDC?  I mean, it seems like the best
solution (really, the only practical solution).
