+The krb5-1.8 release disables single-DES cryptosystems by default.  As
+a result, you may need to add the libdefaults setting
+"allow_weak_crypto = true" to communicate with existing Kerberos
+infrastructures if they do not support stronger ciphers.

 The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak.  The
 krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away
 from using single-DES cryptosystems.  Among these is a configuration
