Jiajia Li commented on DIRKRB-536:
----------------------------------
I think this patch will lead to KdcTest failure because the KrbClient is reused
in the test. Looking forward to the new feature.
> KrbClient leaks sockets

> KrbClient does not close sockets at the end of a request. This is not a
> problem for KinitTool as the jvm closes the sockets at program termination. A
> longer running application has to rely on the garbage collector cleaning up
> open sockets. The most likely location to do this appears to be at the end of
> DefaultInternalKrbClient.doRequest\{T,S}gt() by calling release() on
> DefaultInternalKrbClient.transport.
