gss-sample

[Kevin J. Dunlap]

I have a question about the gss-sample programs, gss-server and gss-client.

 >From the README in the MIT distribution:

* The gss-sample test application suite is known to not communicate
   with the gss-sample suite in 1.1.x and earlier releases. This is
   the result of changes to increase functionality; fixes to allow for
   backwards compatibility will occur in a later release.

I am pretty new to Kerberos and not sure where the changes were made that 
make this
backwards incompatibility.   Are these changes isolated to the sample code 
or are the
changes in the GSS-API libraries (libgssapi*.a) ?

I have a system that I can't change the version of Kerberos on it and the 
gssserver
running on it is from Kerberos Suite 1.1.1.

I have another system with FreeBSD 4.5 and Kerberos 1.2.4 installed.
Should I be able to take a gss-client from 1.1.1 distribution and compile 
it using  Kerberos 1.2.4
libraries and expect the gss-client to be able to work with a gssserver 
from 1.1.1?

I have tried this and it doesn't work,  so I am trying to figure out what I 
am doing wrong.
