I would like to inquire if this kerberos (version 5) has worked ,
or can work on linux version 1.2.3. It would be greatly appreciated if
you can give us any hint on how to configure it specifically for Linux
because when i compiled the program there where many errors in
compilation.
Yes, it has worked on some Linux systems. In general the problem is
that different distributions of Linux use different versions of db and
dbm (and in some cases, both!) and this occasionally causes problems.
You should get better results if you compile using the internal berk_db
library. (The one in Beta 6 is somewhat buggy in some cases, and will
be disk-format incompatible with a new fixed one that we'll be putting
in for the next release --- which is why berk-db isn't currently the
default --- but that only matters if you want to run the KDC on your
Linux box. There will be ways of dumping and reloading the database in
any case.) See the configure help file and the installation
documentation for more details about configuring to use the internal
berk_db.
