There is a bug in ksrvutil.c. The fix is as follows:
567c567
< (void) des_random_key(new_key);
---
> (void) des_new_random_key(new_key);
When executing "ksrvutil change" I would get a core dump. After recompiling
with the debug flag (-g), it worked fine! Thus I suspected a machine
dependence. des_random_key() seems to be machine dependent, while
des_new_random_key() seems to be less so, and they are advertised as having the
same purpose (to generate a hopefully random key using DES). I noticed that
des_new_random_key() is used nowhere in the code. Is this the successor to
des_random_key()?
