I don't think this is the error I'm getting with sserver run from
inetd... I get EBADF (9), which would mean read(), write(), etc. was
called with garbage as the first argument, or possibly an attempt to write
lock a file that's open O_RDONLY. I've checked in the keytab code and I
haven't see any such problems (yet). I'm concerned that something in
libkrb5.a is going wrong. These are supposed to be just simple
tests/examples of using libkrb5.a, right? They _should_ work, and
they've worked in B4-3 and previously.

OK! sclient and sserver work fine on Solaris if you run sserver
as a deamon (not from inetd). I would guess that sserver is not coded
correctly to run from inetd (no biggie). I still haven't had any success
with sim_client and sim_server yet... can anyone get these to work. I'd
like to at least know why they don't work, to make sure there's nothing
wrong with libkrb5.a.
Thanks,
