Can you be more specific? For instance, why is 100 bytes adequate for
Linux servers, but not OnTAP?

Is this explanation for the current value not correct?

  51 /* length of a krb5 verifier (48), plus data added before arguments when
  52  * using integrity (two 4-byte integers): */

Why does it need to be larger than 104?
