I've been tracking a bug on Mozilla about there recent support of kerberos for web authentication but it may at some point also be used for authentication to mail servers. The Mozilla releases are compiled on a stock RH 7 box and the negotiateauth extensions is linked dynamically against its (really old) version of MIT Kerberos (1.2.4???). Users on newer OS's such as Fedora Core 1 and 2 have been complaining that the extension fails to load on their machines because libcom_err.so.3 is not found only libcom_err.so.2. From comments in the bug it appears that that problem has something to do with the libcom_err from e2fsprogs being used instead. What version of MIT kerberos should be used for greatest binary compatibility? If possible, I'm also interested in keeping binary compatibility with the latest MIT version as not to discourage users from upgrading.
