Hi --
I've been trying to install kerberos V5 Beta 5 and having quite
a bit of trouble. I'm running Solaris 2.2 on a sparc, using gcc.
Here's a whole list:
1. The docs don't say clearly how to install; in particular the
"make install" option is hidden in the developer's notes. Also, it
takes some doing to figure out how to set up services.
2. The configure and make went pretty well. All of the make files end
up with INSTALL=../../install-sh, but this is wrong for a few of the
subdirectories. I think the problem is that this value is being
cached.
3. kinit, klist and kdestroy seem to be working fine from unix
clients. My kerberos 4 client on a mac does not obtain credentials,
though as I understand it the V5 server should handle the V4 requests?
The message on the console of the KDC actually seemed to indicate that
it serviced the request OK, but the mac client said that the password
was incorrect.
4. The telnet program crashed when connecting. I traced the problem
(with gdb) to
(void) call(status, "status", "notmuch", 0);
at the beginning of the connection. When I comment this out, the
program runs, though it does dump core when I give the "quit" command.
(I had compiled with ucblib in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH at first; I
reconfigured and rebuilt, and the behavior stayed the same.)
5. telnet will not use authentication when connecting. I turned on
tracing in telnetd. It shows telnetd offering to do authentication but
the telnet client saying "no". The "auth stat" command in telnet shows
auth turned on.
6. I finally figured out the form required in .k5login to get rlogin
to not give an authorization error, but now rlogin just hangs.
krlogind gets started up ok, but then nothing happens.
7. When I do connect with your telnetd (but without auth) it wipes out
the client machine information in my wtmpx file---that is, all such
information for past connections is suddenly gone, though the record
of the session is still there. (This is using the "last" command.)
Thanks for any help, now or in the final release. I'm not in any real
big hurry to get this up and running...
