This is a pretty simple one (code has not been tested yet):
int krb5_init_creds (krb5_ccache ccache,
krb5_principal server,
krb5_creds *creds)
{
memset((char *)&creds, 0, sizeof(creds));
creds.server = server;
return krb5_cc_get_principal (ccache, &creds.client);
}
This is just "syntactic sugar", but it will save some typing...
Point 2: does anyone besides me think that kerberos V5 should use the
ANSI-C "mem*" functions instead of the less-standard BSD
"bcopy/bcmp/bzero"?
