Is "SPN advertisement" or well-known SPNs a security hole?

Hello,



There is an old posting to samba-technical



http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2007-July/054354.html



This message says: From a security standpoint, allowing the server to specify its  
service principal is a "bad idea".

Why it a bad idea?  



I am writing to the Kerberos list because I think the answer would be interesting to all developers of Kerberized applications not just to people who watch  samba-technical.


Thank you.
