Following are 2 patches for kerberos 1.4.1 to build on AIX 5.2. The patches are for the problem of not being able to resolve the address for the kdc.
Except, apparently, not for Lamar Saxon...
The patch for dsnglue.c is if "thread-support" is enabled. The patch adds a 1024 byte buffer after the _res_state structure. IBM AIX has a problem where 735+- bytes are overlaid when res_ninit is called. The 1024 bytes pads the storage to stop res_ninit from overlaying critical storage. Ken Raeburn had tried a similar patch with 72 bytes.
Actually, I suggested the patch, but can't try it out, Lamar did that.
It would be nice if someone at IBM could check into this for us and let us know why the __res_state struct we allocate isn't enough, when the docs we've found all seem to suggest that it should be.
Um, how does this relate to thread support?
The patch for locate_kdc.c is when "disable-thread-support" is set for configure. Again the #ifndef LANL and #ifdef LANL is a local compiler directive. This will need to be changed for local setting or -D LANL set for configure process.
+ #ifndef _AIX + #ifdef AI_NUMERICSERV + hint.ai_flags = AI_NUMERICSERV; + #endif + #endif /* _AIX */
So, are you saying that AI_NUMERICSERV doesn't work for numeric service strings on AIX 5.2? (And does this relate to thread support?)
