If ppp is built on a machine without DES, it won't need DES (and
M$-CHAP will be disabled). This sounds like you've `poluted' your
non-DES machine with some DES binaries (or have you done a binary
installation ? - if so, the problem is with `make release').

I've got des installed on one of my machines here, without the
necessity for Kerberos.
Maybe it's getting close to the time where we've gotta sort out the
-ldes stuff in release..... Jordan ?
