| Description: |
KerberosIV install does not work properly because there is a hard-wired
expiration date of 12/31/99 in the Kerberos source for the ticket
granter.
expiration date of 12/31/99 in the Kerberos source for the ticket
granter.
| How-To-Repeat: |
Install Kerberos.
| Fix: |
Change the date in /usr/src/crypto/kerberosIV/admin/kdb_init.c - this
is hardwired to 12/31/99 which is not reasonable (any more). There was
some code in deja news which set this to 'now+1 year' or something
that could be folded in.
...
principal.exp_date = 946702799; /* Happy new century */
strncpy(principal.exp_date_txt, "12/31/99", DATE_SZ);
