I recently retrieved and built MIT krb5 B4-3 and all has gone
relatively well (even under Solaris2.4). We've been working toward
the use of Kerberos for network printing and Unix accounting for
years now, using the Sandia Kerberos5 distribution that we got years
ago. All has been fine until I recently started using libkrb5.a for
client-server authentication for a Unix accounting application. I
soon found that there are many problems with the Sandia port of krb5,
mostly memory leak related.
The problems which you mentioned are known, and have been fixed in our
sources already. I'll double check to make sure all of the memory leaks
are gone, but they should be.
For future reference, I'd appreciate it if bugs and/or patches could be
sent to krb5-bugs@mit.edu. This makes it much easier for us to track
reports that people report.
Can anyone help with these problems? Are there any patches? Is
Theodore Ts'o still leading the project? (Last I remember he was working on
tty/serial stuff for Linux.)
Yes, I'm still leading the project, and we're still working on improving
and fixing the Krb5 distribution at MIT. Hopefully, we will have a new
release out that will fix many of the reported problems in the next few
weeks.
