Hi *,

I wanted to update our KDC infrastructure from version 1.2.1 to 1.5.1.
But this doesn't work as the KDCs in this version don't act as AFS
KA-server any more. Is there anything I missed?

I looked at the code of version 1.3.1, 1.4 and 1.5.1 - and it looks like
the code supporting this has been removed in 1.5! Is this true? Where
has this been documented?

So just the man pages contain this option at all! What happened?

Cheers,
Andreas
