We also require the DCE_STYLE GSSAPI encryption, (metze has a modified
version of heimdal in a branch of our lorikeet SVN repository that
implements this, but has been dragged back into studies and not cleaned
it up for submission).

On the KDC server-side, we are yet to fully determine what we need - we
have a hdb module for Heimdal, but it's a kludge in places and by the
time we finish all this we expect to have futher and more bizarre
requirements in this area.

None of this is helped by the fact that I really don't know what I'm
doing when it comes to kerberos stuff ;-)
