Alphas have the advantage that you can define a 32 bit quantity for
KRB5_INT32 . If you're working on a 64 bit machine that doesn't
have a 32 bit quantity (e.g. Cray C90) you need to redo a portion of
the DES library (which is nicely structured for this) and fix the
krb5_read_message and krb5_write_message . Also, the size of in_addr needs
to be set in lib/krb5/os/localaddr.c .
I have patches for K5 on a Cray C90 running UNICOS 8.0.2 that make
kinit, klist, kdestroy, kadmin, and kpasswd work if anyone is
interested.
