When the ticket file is written, the issue_date is written as a long:
int tf_save_cred(service, instance, realm, session, lifetime, kvno,
ticket, issue_date)
long issue_date; /* The issue time */
{
.....
if (write(fd, (char *) &issue_date, sizeof(long))
!= sizeof(long))
but when reading:
tf_read((char *) &(c->issue_date), sizeof(c->issue_date)) < 1
where issue date is currently defined as:
KRB4_32 issue_date; /* The issue time */
in include/kerberosIV/krb.h
Needless to say - this causes problems with outgoing telnet connections
which use V4 authentication....
Question: Does cygnus still use a sizeof(long) to write the date out? If
so, I sould probably fix tf_util to read 8 bytes in and deal properly.
