Removing the references to RC4-HMAC from the DES document seems simpler to me. RC4-HMAC is an informational document, and there is no IETF standard that requires its use, therefor it seems unlikely that whatever a new IETF standard says about it will modify deployments. Especially given Russ' comments about interop with Windows XP. /Simon _______________________________________________ ietf-krb-wg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ietf-krb-wg
