Package: krb5-admin-server
Version: 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

MIT documentation for version 1.10 of kdc.conf states that 

"The string DEFAULT can be used to refer to the default set of types for the 
variable 
in question. Types or families can be removed from the current list by 
prefixing them 
with a minus sign (“-”). Types or families can be prefixed with a plus sign 
(“+”) for 
symmetry; it has the same meaning as just listing the type or family. For 
example, 
“DEFAULT -des” would be the default set of encryption types with DES types 
removed, 
and “des3 DEFAULT” would be the default set of encryption types with triple DES 
types moved to the front.
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-current/doc/admin/conf_files/kdc_conf.html#encryption-and-salt-types


However using

supported_enctypes = DEFAULT

in kdc.conf results in kadmind failing with
"kadmind: Required parameters in kdc.conf missing while initializing, aborting"



The server does start with any other encryption type specified before the word 
DEFAULT. E.g.

supported_enctypes = des3-cbc-raw:normal DEFAULT

Will let the server start without errors, as well a nonsense encryption type 
like:

supported_enctypes = des3-cbc-raw:normal dog


So, it probably the case that DEFAULT is just ignored if it is not the first 
encryption type.

Thanks,
  C.
