Sigh. I really struggled with this. Part of what made the aklog autoconf tests so difficult back in the migration kit days was the wacky handling I had to do for the seperate 524 library (especially since I was trying to go to the use of krb5-config). Getting everything right ended up being a nightmare. When we did the aklog integration for OpenAFS, we decided that Kerberos versions earlier than 1.3 were not going to be supported, for this very reason. Considering how fragile the whole build process is with aklog right now, I am not crazy about modifying it further, especially to support four year old versions of Kerberos. I will note that the function in the MIT library is krb5_524_convert_creds(); the symbol name krb524_convert_creds_kdc is for Heimdal. --Ken _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
