0. all krb5dev activity is recorded in the krb5dev discuss meeting. You are
all expected to read it regularly.
0a. /mit/krb5/doc/alpha/ has some notes for alpha test sites which
you should read; this includes a whirlwind tour of the source tree
layout.
1. discussion of time available to work on Kerberos work:
Don 20-30h/wk
John Carr 10h/wk
Ken 8-10h/wk
Ted 1/2 time once employment straightened out
Jon ?
Barry ?
John Kohl 20h/wk
2. discussion of items needing work, and who volunteers/is volunteered
to do them:
all: clean up any XXX in code (by fixing code, not by deleting
comments!)
don: kdc v4 compat; kdc vs. replay cache/UDP issues
tytso: slave server & propagation
bcn: multi-thread warnings/improved pseudo code.
jtkohl: multi-homed hosts; forged authenticators
raeburn: STDIO-based ccache; thread-safe rcache
jfc: user2user api proposal
jon: study admin program/server needs; recommend
3. other items:
can we eventually create a v4 interface to v5 code, so that clients just
re-link? (on the back burner for now...v4 at KDC is current
high-priority conversion path)
Barry suggests 'unbundling' ss/et/imake/etc so that they can be
picked up separately, so other sites only need one copy.
discussion of conversion of existing admin_server tools (may or
may not be worthwhile); whether anything other than a kdb_init &
admin_server are needed.
set-up of a test krb5 kdc
4. action items:
* all: work on code; should be both ANSI and common-C compilable
* jfc/bjaspan: come back with user2user api proposal
* jtkohl: find a place to set up a test krb5 kdc
