SUMMARY: Kerberos V5 Beta 6

My original query was
> Has anyone successfully built the Beta 6 distribution on an Alpha?
> While I can build Beta 5 OK, the "make check" breaks when the test
> program t_shs is executed.

Thanks to Dan Riley (Cornell), Todd Acheson (Ohio U), and Ezra Peisach (MIT)
for answers. Dan's answer is included below:

> There is a little-endian bug in the shs algorithm--I am enclosing the
> fix that was posted to krb5-bugs. SHS isn't actually used in beta 6,
> so it is completely harmless, but this should fix 'make check'.
