I have what I thought was a perl problem using Kerberos authentication. However, after many emails with perl experts, the consensus is that this is really a problem with the Kerberos library. Hopefully, someone on this list will recognize the problem an can suggest a solution.
This particular script runs fine when executed from the command line (I'm using OS X 10.4.11). When the same command is run from 'cron' or 'at' the following error occurs: Credentials cache I/O operation failed XXX I am told that this error indicates there was a problem writing the credentials cache file. The first thought was that it had to do with permissions but the script does the same thing even running as root. The second thought was that it had to do with an environment variable but again that is not the case since perl runs in its own environment so the variables are identical running from command line or 'cron'. At that point, the author of the perl interface said that all his code does is make standard Kerberos library calls. Since Apple uses the standard MIT libraries, the conclusion is that this must be something specific to the library rather then perl or the OS. Can anyone help? TIA. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
