Jesse,
OK -- I'm the one not paying attention (slap).
Thanks to your very lucid explanation, I pulled my head from the dark,
oxygen-deprived enclosure where it had become deeply lodged and looked at
/usr/lib (where my krb5 libraries are installed).
Sure enough, I had _two_ krb5 libraries: krb-3.1 and krb-17.2.1.
Unfortuntately, my libkrb5.so was linked against the *former* rather than
the latter. Grepping the libs told me rather quickly that that old libs
didn't include the functions I needed linked in. Changed the libkrb5.so
link to point at the correct library and -- well, success (duh).
Why do i feel like such a dummy when I make so obvious a boo-boo? Not like
I haven't seen this before. Public floggin is in order.
Thanx much for the prod,
David A. Bandel
