Please review the project
    http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Projects/Disable_DES

The review period ends on February 13, 2009.

This project aims to disable single-DES cryptosystems by default.  The
"allow_weak_crypto" libdefaults setting (which is compatible with
Heimdal) will override this disabling.  Note that a more general means
of configuring enctypes, allowing for explicit inclusions and
exclusions, is out of scope for this project for time reasons but is
clearly a better way to accomplish this functionality.

An initial implementation is already committed to the trunk.
