Hi,
Thanks for your help and quick reply.
I have tried without linking -lkrb5util. As u said, i got link failure with
"krb5_compat_recvauth" function. I have changed "krb5_compat_recvauth"
function to "krb_recvauth" function. But i didn't know the exact arguments
for this function ,so i got errors.
Is this "krb_recvauth" function will handle both V4 and V5? What is the
function used to handle only V5?
Regards,
Vijayalakshmi.

Hi All,

Right. It had two things in it: a wrapper for
setuid/seteuid/setreuid/whatever the local system has, which we moved into
an internal header file, and versions of sendauth/recvauth which would
send or accept krb5 or krb4 tokens on a supplied file descriptor. We
didn't feel that either was something we wanted to be supporting for
application use. (Perhaps as a helper function the compat versions of
sendauth/recvauth might have some use; I forget why we decided at the time
that it would be good to get rid of them. But given that we're now
pushing for eliminating krb4, I don't think there's any chance we're going
to reverse the decision at this point.)
I want to build qpopper with kerberos. Qpopper requires "libkrb5util"
library. What do i need to do to get this library? Or Is there any other
way to build qpopper with kerberos?
Try linking the program without -lkrb5util.
If you're using krb4 authentication (which has some security problems, but
then again, the Kerberos POP extension is basically "here's an
authenticator, now send me everything in cleartext with no protection", so
who are we kidding anyways), and if the compat recvauth function is
causing link failures, you should be able to edit the source to call
krb_recvauth instead, with the right subset of the arguments. Or, worst
case, you could try grabbing src/appl/bsd/compat_recv.c and add it into
the qpopper code.
