I'm trying to build HPSS, a mass storage system from IBM. I didn't
mention it because it isn't exactly widely known.
But anyway...what I found curious was that the Linux krb5.h gives you
the option of defining krb5_rcache if you set KRB5_PRIVATE. My AIX
krb5.h doesn't give you the option at all; it just defines it as a
pointer to an empty struct.
