Is there any chance I could get kadmind5 working well enough on IRIX
that kpasswd will allow users to change their own passwords? What
would that require? If it won't work now, how long would you estimate
it would be before this is fixed?
I can send you a snapshot which *might* work better. I can't really
make any guarantees since IRIX is not currently one of our core
development platforms. (That is to say, the Kerberos developers don't
currently have easy access to an SGI, so we don't regularly do work on
it.) We *do* have SGI's in the Athena environment, so this is something
that we'll be worrying about; it's just that up until now, we haven't
focused on making SGI's work.
The database formats in this snapshot will *probably* not change between
now and the 1.0 release. Most of the changes that we're working on now
is to make the multiple encryption types feature work correctly; that
shouldn't impact the database formats --- but no guarantees. The
protocols are pretty much unchanged at this point, so you won't have to
worry much on that score.
I normally wouldn't make such an offer, since we can't offer much in the
way of support with this interim release, and there are bound to be
other problems with it. But you mentioned a tight time factor.... if
you're willing to be a guinea pig, I'll send you the release.
