Heimdal Breakage

After installing 6.4-RELEASE on my secondary KDC I decided to test the
secondary KDC. When trying kinit I get this error:
jcw at w17 ~ $ kinit
jcw at STRADAMOTORSPORTS.COM's Password:
kinit: krb5_get_init_creds: Key size is incompatible with encryption type
One post on the net says that Heimdal changed the key format to add some
padding or somesuch. I haven't gone about fixing the problem yet so
maybe that post is not applicable to FreeBSD. Just the same I thought I
would let folks know that their key databases are probably not forward
compatible with 6.4-RELEASE. This would be a pretty big deal for some
users. It would be nice to see this in UPDATING.
Thanks,
Jason
