Hi Thanx for the quick answer..

Is this fix something that will make its way into the MIT kerberos ? I have tried googleing for any backport/upstream fix, but found nothing so far As I understand it 32bit solaris (9) has the fopen issue because some field holding the file descriptor is only a byte long. Just for curiosities sake: I assume this field is still only byte sized, so how does this F mode help ?
