Hi Manuel,

I promised you some feedback on your excellent Wiki (which was a great help
 to me!). Here's what I had to change to get my Kubuntu Breezy and to
authenticate successfully against Win2003 SP1:

added in /etc/krb5.conf:
#starts here
	default_tgs_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 rc4-hmac
        default_tkt_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
 rc4-hmac permitted_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
 rc4-hmac krb4_config = /etc/krb.conf
        krb4_realms = /etc/krb.realms
        kdc_timesync = 1
        ccache_type = 4
        forwardable = true
        proxiable = true

[login]
        krb4_convert = true
        krb4_get_tickets = true
#ends here

Thanks for your Wiki!

;-) Terje
