For Kerberos 5, pre-beta 3...
All throughout the sendauth code you take care to zero out the "authent"
structure before returning to the caller...except at the very end of the
function:
} else
krb5_free_cred_contents(&creds);
return(0);
}
Is the absence of "memset((char *)&authent, 0, sizeof(authent));" in the final
"else" clause a bug, or is it absent for a reason?
Thanks,

P.S. BTW, why do you zero out the authent struct?
