-Operating systems notes.... this file contains notes about various
-different operating systems and some quirks that you have to be aware
-of when compiling for them.
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Alpha OSF/1 V2.0
-
-md4.c can not be compiled with the optimizer on. (Could it possibly
-be the same bug as the Dec Ultrix bug? The bug report makes it sound
-identical!)
-
-(Reported by Marc Kenig)
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-BSDI
-
-BSDI reportedly has a bad sed which causes it to go into an infinite
-loop during the build. The workaround is to get a sed from somewhere
-else, such as GNU.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Solaris versions 2.0 through 2.3:
-
-The gethostbyname() routine is broken; it does not return a fully
-qualified domain name, even if you are using the DNS. Since Kerberos
-V5 uses the fully qualified domain name as the second component of a
-service principal (i.e, "host/tsx-11.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU), this
-causes problems for servers who try to figure out their own fully
-qualified domain name. (It turns out clients win because Kerberos
-calls gethostbyname() and then calls gethostbyaddr() on the address,
-and SunSoft didn't screw up gethostbyaddr() except when it is your own
-local hostname!)
-
-Workarounds:
-
-1) Supply your own resolver library.
-
-2) Upgrade to Solaris 2.4
-
-3) Make sure your /etc/nsswitch.conf has the line:
-
- hosts: files dns
-
-and then in /etc/hosts, make sure there is a line with your
-workstation's IP address and hostname, with the fully qualified domain
-name first. Example:
-
- 18.172.1.4 dcl.mit.edu dcl
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Solaris 2.X:
-
-You *must* compile Kerberos V5 *without* the UCB compatibility libraries.
-
-This means that /usr/ucblib must *not* be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-environment variable when you compile it.
-
-Alternatively you can place the -i option on the cc line. So you can
-put --with-ccopts=-i on the configure line. (Thanks to Dan Nessett
-for this suggestion.
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Ultrix 4.2/3 (Decstation Mips)
-
-md4.c and md5.c can not be compiled with the optimizer set at level 1.
-(Either -O or -g will work; leaving ccopts blank won't.) The
-optimizer isn't hung; it just takes a long time, due to an exponential
-time bug. Calculations estimate around something like 4 billion
-years. :-)
