>Description:
The KDB keytab type is defined once in lib/kdb/keytab.c and once in
lib/krb5/keytab/db/dbkeytab.c. The implementations are slightly
different, but I do not believe either one ever worked: the resolve
function expects to take an allocated krb5_db_context as an argument
whereas the krb5_kt_resolve function passes it the residual portion of
the keytab specifier. Furthermore, the string krb5_kt_kdb_ops is
referenced only in those two files and in a ChangeLog, so the code
isn't used anywhere in the source tree.
This code should either be in one place and fixed to work or removed
entirely.
