That's a fair concern, given that a lot of server implementations were  
built from packet traces or incomplete documentation. NetApp, for  
example, do not support big-endian PACs (and neither does Samba unless  
that has been fixed recently).

You might take a look at the MS docs too. From memory the first 16  
bytes of the Kerberos session key are used.
