>Environment:
RS-6000, AIX 4.1.4, target same,
using AIX's own compiler (xlc? whatever it's called)
System: AIX dbatest 1 4 000057973500
>Description:
I have compiled and installed K5 1.0 on the above machine.
I can get tickets, either locally or from Windows.
I can run gssftp locally with no problem.
When I connect to the encrypted telnet, the daemon gets through the
authentication OK, but as soon as it tries to fork for the
new user, the AIX host crashes (as in core dump) and I have to
cycle the power. I can't trace this past the fork because it
crashes so fast
I can't get the new ID to give to gdb. I sent this in about a
week ago, but haven't gotten any response (even 'we have received
your bug report'), maybe because I didn't give the domain name
in my email address. The AIX host itself does not have incoming
email.
>How-To-Repeat:
I connect with any client, encrypted or not, to the encrypted
telnet daemon. Kaboom.
>Fix:
Don't know.
