If the des_ api is replaced in openssl, kerberos 4 will break since its API depend on the des_ api. Not that that will be a bad thing to get rid of Kerberos 4. My experince is that the compat glue for the old api might have been an nice idea, but it doesn't work in really, its to fragile. Love PS I've update heimdal locally to the DES_ api, quite a simple change. but wont be able to commit to heimdal until I've updated rest of heimdals build structure.
