Bug 75396 – pam_krb5 requires mit-krb5 to be installed. I am using Heimdal for Kerberos

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark 2004-12-22 20:25:40 UTC]

It seems like the pam_krb5 ebuild insists that one uses the mit-krb5 imlementation of kerberos. I have setup our infrastructure to use the heimdal implmentation. If I install the mit-krb5 implmentation on the clients then the kadmin tool cannot work as the server is heimdal.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge heimdal
2. emerge pam_krb5
3.

Actual Results:  
The heimdal package blocks the mit-krb5 package

Expected Results:  
pam_krb5 module should work with either implmentation

Mark,

I've created an updated ebuild to fix this problem, in addition to my own bug regarding the extraneous Kerberos 4 dependency; see the below attachment.

Changes from the existing ebuild:
  - Updated description for clarification
  - Removed extraneous kth-krb and mit-krb5 dependencies with USE=afs
  - Configure directives for Kerberos 4 have been removed
