Is this the Mac OS X Kerberos Extras Installer from MIT or a Kerberos Extras installer provided by another organization? MIT provides installer sources so that other sites can build their own installer. If you obtained your installer from somewhere other than MIT you will need to contact them for more help. Regardless, the reason the Kerberos Extras VISE installer is failing to launch is because it can't find your CFM (Code Fragment Manager) libraries. CFM is a library format used by applications which were ported from Mac OS 9, including the version of Installer VISE used to create the Kerberos Extras installer. Apple provides CFM libraries for Mac OS X in /System/Library/CFMSupport. Most likely either the Kerberos Extras Installer application or the libraries in your / System/Library/CFMSupport are corrupted. You might try verifying disk permissions with Disk Utility or copying the CFMSupport folder from another Macintosh. Note that you do not need the Kerberos Extras to use Kerberos. The Kerberos libraries, applications and tools are included in Mac OS X 10.4.8. The Kerberos Extras installer just provides a few components not provided by Apple: * An MIT Kerberos configuration file for Kerberos (/Library/ Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos) * A symlink from /System/Library/CoreServices/Kerberos to / Applications/Utilities/Kerberos * Kerberos CFM shim libraries for older applications that use Kerberos Hope this helps, --lxs Alexandra Ellwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIT Kerberos Development Team <http://mit.edu/lxs/www> ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
