>Release: 4.5-RELEASE (p-1)
>Organization:
mdn Hübner GmbH
>Environment:
From 4.4 through recent Releases (4.5-p2)
>Description:
I already submitted a pr which i can not submit a follow up to because our mail server has no reverse domain name and your mailserver does not accept any emails from mail servers without reverse names (What ever!! That sucks!). There is also no way to do that via web interface (You can submit a pr but not submit any followups!
Its pr34401.
Now, about the kerberos problem, i had: The Handbook says, the srvtab file for the clients needs to be /etc/kerberosIV/srvtab. This is the way it is done in OpenBSD. the ksrvutil manpage says:
...
In all cases, the default file used is KEY_FILE as defined in krb.h
unless this is overridden by the -f option.
...
# grep KEY_FILE /usr/include/krb.h
#
-> It couldn't find KEY_FILE anywhere in any header. But ok. I don't care.
But finally the freebsd kerberos utilitys use /etc/srvtab instead of /etc/kerberosIV/srvtab.
# truss ksrvutil list
...
stat("/etc/srvtab",0xbfbfdfec) = 0 (0x0)
open("/etc/srvtab",0,00) = 3 (0x3)
... etc
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install kerberosIV with help of the FreeBSD handbook (did anyone ever do this at all?)
>Fix:
a) change the handbook to say /etc/srvtab
b) change the source ... this is the prefered way (if you want to get me nuts because i have to mv all those srvtabs again from /etc/kerberosIV to /etc/ and back again)
and fix your mail system (@#!\&%)
