- Administration system to MIT for inclusion in the standard
- Kerberos 5 distribution. This donation underscores our
- commitment to continuing Kerberos technology development
- and our gratitude for the valuable work which has been
- performed by MIT and the Kerberos community.
+The source distribution of Kerberos 5 comes in three gzipped tarfiles,
+krb5-1.0.src.tar.gz, krb5-1.0.doc.tar.gz, and krb5-1.0.crypto.tar.gz.
+The krb5-1.0.doc.tar.gz contains the doc/ directory and this README
+file. The krb5-1.0.src.tar.gz contains the src/ directory and this
+README file, except for the crypto library sources, which are in
+krb5-1.0.crypto.tar.gz.
+
+Instruction on how to extract the entire distribution follow. These
+directions assume that you want to extract into a directory called
+DIST.
+
+If you have the GNU tar program and gzip installed, you can simply do:
+
+ mkdir DIST
+ cd DIST
+ gtar zxpf krb5-1.0.src.tar.gz
+ gtar zxpf krb5-1.0.crypto.tar.gz
+ gtar zxpf krb5-1.0.doc.tar.gz
+If you don't have GNU tar, you will need to get the FSF gzip
+distribution and use gzcat:
+ mkdir DIST
+ cd DIST
+ gzcat krb5-1.0.src.tar.gz | tar xpf -
+ gzcat krb5-1.0.crypto.tar.gz | tar xpf -
+ gzcat krb5-1.0.doc.tar.gz | tar xpf -
-Now, with that out of the way, let me point you to a few things:
+Both of these methods will extract the sources into DIST/krb5-1.0/src
+and the documentation into DIST/krb5-1.0/doc.
+
+Unpacking the Binary Distribution
+---------------------------------
+
+Binary distributions of Kerberos V5 are provided merely as convenience
+to those people who wish to try out Kerberos V5 without needing to do
+a full compile of Kerberos.
+
+MIT and the MIT Kerberos V5 development team make no guarantees that
+we will continue to supply binary distributions for future releases of
+Kerberos V5, or for any operating system/platform in particular.
+These binary distributions have been prepared by members of the MIT
+Kerberos V5 development team, or by volunteers who have graciously
+agreed to test the pre-release snapshot. Each binary build is PGP
+signed by the person who prepared the binary distribution for that
+particular platform.
+
+While the binary distribution is *supposed* to correspond exactly to
+the 1.0 Kerberos V5 source release, you have no way of knowing whether
+the person who prepared the binary release might have inserted a
+trojan horse, or a trapdoor. For all you know, the binary
+distribution might be mailing all of your Kerberos keys to
+kremvax!boris. (The same is true for the source distribution, but at
+least you can audit the code yourself!)
+
+For this reason, if you are planning on using Kerberos V5 in
+production, we strongly suggest that you obtain the source
+distribution and compile it from source yourself.
+
+The binary distributions have been compiled so that they will install
+in /usr/local. To install, su to root and and type the command:
+
+ cd /usr/local
+ gunzip < /tmp/krb5-1.0.<platform>.tar.gz | tar xvf -

+Reporting Bugs
+--------------
+
+Please report any problems/bugs/comments using the krb5-send-pr
+program. The krb5-send-pr program will be installed in the sbin
+directory once you have successfully compiled and installed Kerberos
+V5 (or if you have installed one of our binary distributions).
+
+If you are not able to use krb5-send-pr because you haven't been able
+compile and install Kerberos V5 on any platform, you may send mail to
+krb5-bugs@mit.edu.
+
+Notes and Major Changes
+-----------------------
+
+* We are now using the GNATS system to track bug reports for Kerberos
+V5. It is therefore helpful for people to use the krb5-send-pr
+program when reporting bugs. The old interface of sending mail to
+krb5-bugs@mit.edu will still work; however, bug reports sent in this
+fashion may experience a delay in being processed.
+
+* The default keytab name has changed from /etc/v5srvtab to
+/etc/krb5.keytab.
+
+* login.krb5 no longer defaults to getting krb4 tickets.
+
+* The Windows (win16) DLL, LIBKRB5.DLL, has been renamed to
+KRB5_16.DLL. This change was necessary to distinguish it from the
+win32 version, which will be named KRB5_32.DLL. Note that the
+GSSAPI.DLL file has not been renamed, because this name was specified
+in a draft standard for the Windows 16 GSSAPI bindings. (The 32-bit
+version of the GSSAPI DLL will be named GSSAPI32.DLL.)
+
+* The directory structure used for installations has changed. In
+particular, files previously located in $prefix/lib/krb5kdc are now
+normally located in $sysconfdir/krb5kdc. With the normal configure
+options, this means the KDC database goes in /usr/local/var/krb5kdc by
+default. If you wish to have the old behavior, then you would use a
+configure line like the following:
+
+ configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/usr/local/lib
+* kshd has been modified to accept krb4 encrypted rcp connections; for
+this to work, the v4rcp program must be in the bin directory.
+* The gssrpc library has symbol collisions with the rpc library in
+some of the libcs in certain operating systems without shared
+libraries, notably some ports of NetBSD and MkLinux. For those
+platforms which have rpc in libc and also contain NIS in libc,
+compiling with static libraries will not work because of this
+conflict. NetBSD users can either upgrade to the current tree, which
+includes shared libraries for more ports, choose not to build kadmind
+or kadmin, or recompile NetBSD without NIS support. MkLinux users
+must either recompile without NIS or not build the administration
+system.
