Hi!

Thanks for your insight!

But does the MIT stash file work with heimdal? The postings I found
seemed to imply this, that's why I tried to use it.

My first mail describes the steps I made to convert the MIT database
to heimdal. Would you say my approach was correct? Can you give a
step-by-step account of how to convert a MIT database to heimdal?

Hm, since heimdal seems to be a university project, the lack of
documentation puzzles me. Has all the documentation (design, planning,
implementation) been written in swedish?

Since the heimdal source seems to be quite well-behaved (at least it
compiles without problems on any system I've tried), I'm not very
afraid to look into the source. However I'd prefer some (english or
german) docs, if possible.

Kind regards
