Gssapi Questions

Hello,

 

I am hoping someone can help with a couple of problems.

 

Some background first. I am using OpenSSH4.3p2 (but have also tried 5.8p2)
along with Kerberos 1.9.1. I am doing cross-compilation for PowerPC 8270 and
I had to make a couple of minor changes to the Kerberos configure script so
that it would not bomb out because I'm doing cross compilation. Specifically
when it checks for "constructor/destructor", "regcomp" and "printf
positional". Basically I just modified the script to disable the checking of
these 3 things and the script then ran fine.

 

The problem I am having is as follows:

 

1)      In the top level "src" directory there is a "gssapi.h" header file
in the "src" directory which simply does an "include <gssapi/gssapi.h>". But
no directory called "gssapi" gets created nor does it come with the
distribution.

2)      When running configure for OpenSSH it tries to include a header file
"gssapi_krb5.h" or "gssapi/gssapi_krb5.h" depending on which of two GSSAPI
compile flags are set. Neither of these exist in the Kerberos distribution.
The nearest match I can find is "gssapiP_krb5.h" in "src/lib/gssapi/krb5".
Am I missing something here or is OpenSSH looking in the wrong place?

 

Thanks much

Allen
