Initial import of KTH eBones. This has been cleaned up to only include
the "core" Kerberos functionality. The rest of the userland will get their
own changes later.

Since kth-krb +is written in ANSI C it is necessary to specify the name of the compiler +to be used and the required switch to make it ANSI compliant. This is +most easily done when running configure using the `env' command. For +instance to build under HP-UX using the native compiler do: + + datan$ env CC="cc -Ae" ./configure + +In general `gcc' works. The following combinations have also been +verified to successfully compile the distribution: + +`HP-UX' + `cc -Ae' + +`Digital UNIX' + `cc -std1' + +`AIX' + `xlc' + +`Solaris 2.x' + `cc' (unbundled one) + +`IRIX' + `cc' + +Linux problems +-------------- + +Some systems have lost `/usr/include/ndbm.h' which is necessary to +build kth-krb correctly. There is a `ndbm.h.Linux' right next to the +source distribution. + +There has been reports of non-working `libdb' on some Linux +distributions. If that happens, use the `--without-berkeley-db' when +configuring. + +HP-UX problems +-------------- + +The shared library `/usr/lib/libndbm.sl' doesn't exist on all systems. +To make problems even worse, there is never an archive version for +static linking either. Therefore, when building "truly portable" +binaries first install GNU gdbm or Berkeley DB, and make sure that you +are linking against that library. + +Cray problems +------------- + +`rlogind' won't work on Crays until `forkpty()' has been ported, in the +mean time use `telnetd'. + +AIX problems +------------ + +`gcc' version 2.7.2.1 has a bug which makes it miscompile +`appl/telnet/telnetd/sys_term.c' (and possibily `appl/bsd/forkpty.c'), +if used with too much optimization. + +C2 problems +----------- + +The programs that checks passwords works with `passwd', OTP, and +Kerberos paswords. This is problem if you use C2 security (or use some +other password database), that normally keeps passwords in some obscure +place. If you want to use Kerberos with C2 security you will have to +think about what kind of changes are necessary.
