>Description:
The patch referred to below improves the usefulness the of
the Kerberos code under Windows. Specifically:
-the rcp and rsh clients now build and function.
-the ftp client builds and functions. Note that although
this port does function and work well, the changes to
the code are really, really ugly. For the long term it
really needs to be rewritten from scratch for windows.
-the krb524 library builds and functions (Thanks to Craig
Huckabee for this port).
The patch also includes other minor windows-related fixes I've
picked up from krb5-bugs or other sources (e.g. a fix for the
tailing '.' in NT-5.0 hostnames). It also includes some code
from Ken Hornstein's AFS-KRB5 Migration kit that I found
useful for doing the port.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The patch is quiet large (140K). You can get it at:
http://computer.ncsa.uiuc.edu/kerberos/windows.patch
Apply to the NT-Alpha2 snapshot and then build as normal. The
patch will modify the makefiles to build the krb525 library,
rcp, rsh and ftp clients in addition to the usual stuff.
