Hi!

We are inte transition from amanda 2.4.2 to 2.5.2. We seem to have a working build and configuration. We've also switched from Solaris 9 to 10, and newer
hardware.

However, with 2.5.2 encryption is no longer an option, when using Kerberos 5 authentication. The backup server seems to have problems with the backup of nearly 200 filesystems on 80 hosts.
With 2.5.2, krb5 must encrypt nothing or encrypt everything, it is set at compile time with AMANDA_KRB5_ENCRYPT,
it must be the same for all clients and server.
