  FreeBSD src repository

  Modified files:
etc/gss mech Log:
  Update the shlib version for libgssapi_krb5.  This file needs to be updated
  anytime that library version is bumped.
XXX: I wonder if this breaks any 6.x binaries using Kerberos5 via GSSAPI.
This file is new in 7.0.
By that, I mean that in 6.x, libgssapi_krb5 is called libgssapi.so.<some
number I forget>. In 7.0, this becomes libgssapi_krb5 and applications
link with the GSS-API plugin framework libgssapi.so.8 (or 9 if the extra
version bump has been merged to 7.0).

Does the number really need to be bumped for 7.0? It has already
happened at least once, when I committed the plugin framework.
Yes, it was the same version as in 6.x but incompatible because it referenced all kinds of new libc.so.7 symbols not present in libc.so.6.

The question is whether 6.x kerberos binaries will now run on 7.0 since the mech file points to an incompatible 7.0 library.

I believe they will because 6.x binaries will link directly to the
Heimdal gssapi implementation which doesn't use the mechs file (it only
does krb5).

OK good. We have some time to work out how to solve the corresponding problem that may occur with 8.0 then.
