Like Solaris, Heimdal one supports mechanisms that export either a dispatch table or individual symbols. The former was necessary to support pseudo- mechanisms or applications that need to link against mechanism-specific API, although I suspect there might have been other ways to do this. Also the Heimdal mechglue supports a bunch of the GSI extensions, like set_context_option etc. -- Luke -- ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
