I plan to make the following changes in FreeBSD's Kerberos code before 2.1 release time rolls around. I would like to invite public comment before actually making these changes. 1) Removal of src/kerberosIV. Reasoning: this code is duplicated by the slightly more up-to-date and compilable code in src/eBones, and unlike the eBones code, does not exist in a legally-created form outside the US. 2) Moving src/eBones/compile_et to src/usr.bin and adding libcom_err. Reasoning: it's a general-purpose library that might be used by a number of different programs, so might as well make it available globally. Other MIT ex-Athena programs make use of it as well. If someone wants to contribute a pmake'able `ss' and `libss', I'll consider those as well. I am not interested in suggestions to upgrade to Kerberos V or CNS Kerberos; at this point in time, neither of those systems exist in legally-exported non-COCOM form, and I'm not going to screw over the non-US users. (I would welcome anyone who wants to make a `port' out of these programs, although they obviously could not be built automatically.) Replies directly to me, please. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
