I've been hacking away at getting Kerberos 4p10 (from athena-dist) to
run on my linux box (1.2.10, 4.5.26, 2.5.8). I have (at least) kinit,
klist, kdestroy, rlogin, rsh, and rcp fully functional, which is most
of what I need.
Getting rlogin -x to work was interesting. Since I'm connected to the
net via a slirp link (user-mode tcp/ip) to a Sun, the hack where the
sign bit of the datestamp yields the direction was broken. Scary hack.
Unrelatedly, there are one or two stray characters that show up at the
beginning of each rlogin -x session (\200, \221), and they break the
length+data paradigm. I worked around them by windowing forward in the
data stream until I found a valid four-byte length; I suspect it has
to do with the oob stuff, but the sigurg does get propagated and window
size changes do work, so it's hard to say what exactly is losing.
Anyway, I still don't have rkinit or kadmin/ank working correctly,
and I'm hoping there's someone out there who does. Or, if not, and if
getting rlogin -x working under 4p10 is useful to people, I'd be happy
to make my diffs available.
Thanks for any feedback.
