kinit programming

[melissa_benkyo]

thanks for all the input! I noticed something with the SEAM on solaris
or at least the kerberos part. There seems to be a libkrb library. So
does that mean that it also includes kerberos API calls? I also wonder
what the mech_kerb.so library is for? hmm... is this the kerberos
library???

thanks again!

Our Application Security products provide an implementation og GSSAPI v2 and also include additional functions for application security, these include functions for acquiring initial credentials.
