Well, it seems some people are using it so I decided not to ask for its removal.

In short, I'm stumped. See my other mail. The problem lies in converting the return value of strdup.

Bug#128888: ITP: ssh-krb5 - A version of OpenSSH patched to support Kerberos Authentication
package: wnpp severity: wishlist Hi. AS discussed below, I intend to package OpenSSH using the current Debian sources with patches to allow krb5 authentication. I will use the patches available at http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh.html. These patches attempt to comply with draft-ietf-secsh-gss-keyex along with some of the more common other types of Kerberos authentication. The Kerberos packaging will follow guidelines agreed on by Debian kerberos package maintainers and included in /usr/share/doc/krb5-config/packaging-guidelines.txt.gz. The package will likely build withe either Heimdal or MIT Kerberos, although the version uploaded to non-us will be compiled against MIT Kerberos. Below is previous discussion on this package attempting to justify the need for yet another ssh package in Debian. --- Begin Message --- Hi. I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] about tthis a while back. I heard no response. It is my intent to ITP ssh-krb5 as a package at priority extra that conflicts with the existing ssh. I will probably store configuration files in /etc/ssh rather than /etc/ssh-krb5 because I believe that some time after woody releases we will be able to get these changes folded into OpenSSH upstream and then hopefully into the main Debian ssh packages. This is a heads up for the Kerberos and Ssh community in Debian. --- Begin Message --- So I suspect I'm not the only one on this list that would like Kerberized ssh in Debian. However ssh is somewhat of a moving target; here are the things we probably want to support: * The ssh.com sshv1 Kerberos5 protocol (used by MIT among others) * The ssh Kerberos4 protocol (used by CMU and others) (Is this the same as the krb4 in openssh?) * draft-ietf-secsh-gss-keyex (standards track protocol) * The krb5 support in sxw's patches to Openssh 2.5.2 (does anyone use * this? no would be a really really convenient answer) I propose that I talk to the ssh maintainer and get permission to ITP an ssh-krb5 that supports the first three listed protocols.I believe code will exist to do that fairly soon. I'd rather do that than fold in Kerberos support because it is so much of a moving target right now and because it would be asking the ssh maintainer to maintain a lot of third-party patches.

defining directories with autotools
Hello,
I've got a problem across several of my packages:
Having all those $*dir's done by automake and autoconf is all fine, but
how does the program know at runtime what the user entered as argument
to configure? Say, the program has some datafiles it needs in
$datadir/program, how does it know that the user typed ./configure
--datadir=/opt/you/would/not/guess ?
The obvious answer for me was 'well, use -DDATADIR=foo/bar (with
adequate quoting) or -DHAVE_CONFIG_H'. If I use automake, only the
latter is really feasable without kludges, but the problem is that (at
least for me) those directories don't get expanded properly in config.h,
$datadir/program becomes ${prefix}/share/program and
$prefix/share/program becomes NONE/share/program if no explicit
arguments are givin to configure. Both are likely to be misinterpreted
by the executable. I helped myself with adding AM_CPPFLAGS =
-DDATADIR=\"$(pkgdatadir)\" in Makefile.am, but as I said above, this
feels rather like a kludge. And the programs aren't really so
complicated that it would be worth doing echo "DATADIR=$pkgdatadir" in
/etc/program, I think.
So, how's the right GNU way to do this? Or am I missing something
important alltogether and you are not supposed to define directories?
thanks for any hint,
Michael

Of course the underlying problem is that realpath() has a ridiculously
broken interface: it insists you supply a big-enough buffer, instead
of taking an argument that indicates how big a buffer you actually
have.
Even adding the argument would still leave a poor interface though:
some systems simply don't have a sensible upper bound on path name
size, so you'd have to repeatedly call it with ever-larger buffers,
potentially invoking multiple file system accesses each time.
Rather than just whine about this, and other similarly broken pathname
manipulation functions, I've written some new versions. You can find
an overview and the (LGPL) source code at:
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/01/pathfns.html
I'd be interested in any comments anyone has, either on the interface
or the implementation.
