This post talks about code in Kerberos 5, pre-beta 3.
In the file "kdc/network.c", in the function "listen_and_process", there is a
"while" loop, some socket code, and a couple of calls to "process_packet".
There is also a variable called "errcount". From the following code...
if (errcount++ > 3)
break;
...it looks like you want to terminate the loop if there are more than three
errors. However, you always reset "errcount" to zero at the bottom of the
"while" loop:
while (!signal_requests_exit) {
[loop body deleted]
errcount = 0;
}
Is this a bug, or is "errcount" leftover from a debugging session, or what?
Thanks,
