Are you sure Heimdal is thread-safe? Like a month ago I checked with
them and theirs is not thread-safe either.

Hi all.

As the subject says, is MIT Kerberos thread-safe and if it is, which version?

OpenLDAP FAQ warns that MIT Kerberos libraries are not thread safe and that one should either use "--no-threads" when building it or build with Heimdal implementation. Now, I have gotten quite used to MIT Kerberos, have built several packages linked with it. It would be a drag to switch to Heimdal now.

Nix.
