When I got involved with BLFS, both Heimdal and MIT Kerberos were outdated and unmaintained in the book. I went with maintaining MIT implementation and removing Heimdal (xml file is in archive) and keeping MIT Kerberos arround. If you want to add and maintain it, you're welcome to do so. I just want to point out why it was removed. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
