Mark Murray 03656ac1b0 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.

Problems compiling Kerberos
===========================
Many compilers require a switch to become ANSI compliant. 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. See also the discussion
about Digital's SIA and C2 security, see *Note Digital SIA::.
