You mean apart from testing, debugging, etc? Unless kerberos is set up
correctly in the first place you need to look at all of the interface
variable types and find out whether they are passing the correctly sized
variables. For public API's they need to be fixed size. Pointers are
especially problematic if not handled correctly since they become 64-bit
references rather than 32. time_t is another issue. VS2005 defaults to
using 64-bit. I tripped over this immediately after installing it and
rebuilding BIND9. That means find all of the uses of this type and
deciding whether or not 32 or 64 bit is doable. 64-bit is preferred as
2038 is fast approaching. There will be other similar issues.
