I had some time today to work some more on fixing the way the OpenAFS PAM modules are built for Debian, to try to localize the changes more and minimize the Debian diff. That effort was mostly successful, but I ran into a few oddities.
First, the libafsrpc and libafsauthent shared libraries weren't being built with -fPIC on most Linux architectures. Bug #20781 has a patch that I'll commit if it looks good to someone else as well. Second, the PAM modules wouldn't work properly with the pthread libraries (assertion error in rxkad/rxkad_common.c) because the rxkad thread-specific data was being retrieved before it was initialized. I tracked this down to ka_UserAuthenticateGeneral and friends never calling rx_Init. I'm not sure what the best solution to this is. I have a patch to the PAM modules to make them call rx_Init directly, which I can provide if that's the right approach, but I wasn't sure if perhaps the relevant ka_* functions should handle this somehow under the hood. Also, I wasn't sure if the patch was of interest, since right now the PAM modules aren't built against the shared pthread-based libraries and therefore don't have this problem in a stock build. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
