But to make K5 useful for applications we also need an integrated SASL library. Such a library would let us support GSSAPI for sendmail (and more importantly, submit) and ftpd out-of-the-box. And from a security standpoint I'd rather have things in ports link against our own SASL than have the ports import their own code (which inevitably use their own private credentials database instead of the OS facilities). --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
