gss_acquire_cred : Segmentation Fault

[Salman Ahmad Khan]

Hi and thanx for ur reply.
Can u please direct me to, where i can find the code of kerberos to compile. I have it in the form of just library.
Also, what if i use GSS_C_NO_NAME option, it crashed on that as well, and shouldnt it give the error in the maj_stat and min_stat , rather than crashing ?
Thanx again.

I use GSS-API with no problem on RedHat 7.2.

Check that target_name is not null, even though gss_import_name returns
successfully.
And try recompile Kerberos release with CFLAGS=-g so you can step into
gss_acquire_cred at run time using gdb.
