Russ has provided a good answer to you email; I only have a few things to add:
I only can test on systems I have easy access to; for various political reasons here, I only have easy access to Solaris and MacOS X, and I only use MIT Kerberos (I installed Heimdal on a Solaris box here just so I could test it). Hence aklog compiles fine on those systems. Other people are going to have to step up to the plate and figure out what to do under Linux. But this probably means solving the "real" problem and figure out what do regarding com_err ... and that's a hard problem. >2) people aren't compiling AFS on Linux from source but installing >binaries (which is a bit of a crock--somebody's compiling the binaries >initially somewhere, and they'd have the same problem) The pre-built binaries are not currently compiled with aklog, or they ship with some older version of aklog; you'd have to talk to the people who build these binaries (that would be Russ & others on Linux) but part of the problem is that since there are a number of Kerberos libraries out there, there is no one good answer for which Kerberos library version you should use. >3) people aren't using the openAFS 1.4.0 source but some earlier version >which does not have the problem Like Russ said ... versions earlier than 1.4.0 don't have this problem, because they don't provide aklog. >OpenAFS is in a pretty small group of programs I've encountered that did >not ./configure && make && make install without tweaking. You clearly have not compiled many programs with Kerberos support; I have, and they ALL required some tweaking (the worst were the ones that used the CMU autoconf code that tried to guess where Kerberos was ... that code NEVER worked for me). It's better now that there is the krb5-config script that autoconf can use to find out the right options to use for Kerberos, but I guess openafs is the first publically distributed package that uses it. (And to be fair; you have to provide extra options to ./configure to enable aklog to get compiled, so it's not just ./configure && make && make install). --Ken _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
