Date: Wed, 28 Nov 90 10:20:50 -0500 From: John T Kohl < jtkohl@ATHENA.MIT.EDU> To: krbdev@ATHENA.MIT.EDU Status reports: jtkohl: working on RFC minor source work jfc: comments on GSS sent off to DEC folks "thinking" about user2user issues/API stuff, with an eye toward X11 needs RT build in progress don: KDC v4 compatibility code is working looking at other compatibility issues tytso: des v4/v5 compat done (doesn't save much code space :-<) will do db load/unload stuff (for slave code) will do some des library cleanup (long *'s instead of char's, etc) will do a "v4 extract srvtab" function for kdb5_edit jon: absent raeburn: AWOL string2key discussion, w.r.t. conversion possibilities from v4 to v5 Probable solution: In KDC response, indicate in some fashion which algorithm to use for converting password to key. This may be the string to mix in, or some shorthand for indicating same. KDC database has information (extra word, probably) to indicate which algorithm was used at password-setting time. discussion of scheduling stuff, and confusion about what OSF/HP wants; this should be cleared up soon with some expected communication. build issues: before shipping, we should merge the libraries to reduce the needs for -l (ideally applications would just use -lkrb5 -ldes -lisode) documentation: who's going to do it? We really need some build documentation, and will soon need API/application/user documentation.
