Hi Team,
  libcli/auth/smbdes.c file has DES Encryption algorithm or Just the
HASHING logic for PASSWORDS.??




Thanks &  Regards

Mainly it's used in the legacy LM authentication. See
http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html for details here.
For Kerberos it's a configuration issue.

libcli/auth/smbdes.c

At least S3 does not do Kerberos itself, we delegate this to the system
libraries. If you allow DES is a matter of configuration, but normally,
we do not do DES for Kerberos.
