Hi. You wrote:
Next question: which source tree has RedHat-Athena been using for its
login.krb?
/usr/athena/etc/login.krb, which is what klogind runs, is built from
the kerberos source tree. It doesn't have any athena specific hacks.
(Note that when you rlogin to a Linux machine, your home directory
doesn't get attached.)
/bin/athena/login, which is what telnetd and getty run, is built from
/mit/sipb-athena/src/login/Linux, and old copy of /bin/login from the
util-linux package with Athena hacks added. (Fortunately, /bin/login
hasn't changed much in the past couple of years (decades?), so keeping
it in sync has not been much of an issue.)
It is possible to build /bin/athena/login from
/mit/sipb-athena/src/login, which uses libAL, but there's not much
reason to do that.
In the future, we hope to stop distributing any /bin/athena/login and
instead distrtibute PAM modules that can be used by RedHat's
/bin/login.
-Sal.
