Now that the dust has settled after all the NTLM code moving... Dan, do you have some spare time to make existing implementation more signal safe/friendly? (Affected code located now in curl_ntlm_wb.c) I wonder if we shouldn't be using directly winbind daemon's pipes and skip ntlm_auth altogether, this would also imply changes to test-harness fake_ntlm.c to convert it into a proper daemon. Just an idea. If no time will be available to properly fix this, shouldn't configure option for this NTLM authentication delegation to winbind using auth_ntlm helper default setting be changed to 'disabled' contrary to current setting which is 'enabled'? At least, no one would get surprised due to this feature. -- -=[Yang]=- ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
