[krbdev.mit.edu #6949] TCP connection leak with 1.9.1, with connect_to_server()

TCP connection leak with 1.9.1, with connect_to_server()

Hi,

It seems I have run into a problem with MIT Kerberos version 1.9.1,
that did not occur in some previous versions.  The addition of
connect_to_server() in src/lib/kadm5/clnt/client_init.c appears to cause
TCP socket leak.  For every new connection, connect_to_server() is used
and it provides the socket to clnttcp_create(), but clnttcp_*-functions
leave the responsibility of closing the socket to the layer that created
the socket.  Thus, kadm5_destroy() and clnt_destroy() will not close
the socket created in connect_to_server().

If I understand the API correctly, calling:

kadm5_init_krb5_context(&context)
kadm5_init_with_skey(context, ..., &kadm5_handle)
  ...
kadm5_destroy(kadm5_handle)

should not produce such a leak.

Here's a patch that fixes the problem by making the clnt_destroy()
function take care of closing the socket.  I don't know if this
is a proper way to solve the issue, though.
