Thanks for the reponses that I received regarding this posting. Several
wrote to me asking that I keep them informed if I had any luck with this,
so I think there are other people interested in running KERBEROS 4 under
SOLARIS that aren't having much luck with it. I didn't do a very good job
of documenting my specific problems last time, so I'll try to do a better
job this time.(I have SOLARIS 2.3 on a SPARC-10).
The original reason the "make world" was failing was because the
kerberos install did a ld -x, which isn't recognized under SOLARIS.
I was able to get around this by changing the options on ld in the
Imake.rules file. Then I ran into some problems with it trying to use
"ranlib" which also doesn't exist on my machine. I also had problems
with the profiled library option and got around both of these by
changing config.Imakefile. After that, the "make world" seemed to
work, but I saw a lot of warning messages from the c compiler.
Someone answered my original posting indicating that KERBEROS 4
will have to be ported to SOLARIS 2.3, and that sure looks like
the case to me. But SUN provides the client portion of KERBEROS 4
with Solaris 2.3 (i.e. kinit, kdestroy, library routines, etc.,
and even lists the ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU as the place to get the whole
KERBEROS distribution in both the man pages and their written
documentation.
a). Are there some special options in config.Imakefile that I'm missing?
Should I be using a different compiler? Linkage editor? Make utility?
etc.? If so, what? Or should I concentrate on porting code and devising
my own procedures for building it as I go along?
b). We don't have an established KERBEROS database here and someone posted
that KERBEROS 5 patch version 2 was available and tested against
Solaris. Should I junk the Kerberos 4 project and simply get
started with version 5? Or would I be better off to keep going with
version 4?
I spent some time digging through the kerberos.c server module yesterday,
and it looks like everything is there to get us started setting up a
kerberos server started. It seems to be well written, somewhat documented,
and (comparatively) easy to follow. I hope these questions aren't too
basic for this list, but I need some direction on which way to proceed.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
