AW: context, threads, and both

[Barbat, Calin]

I encountered this issue (race condition caused by processes simultaneously accessing the same rcache in my case), any idea if and when it'll get fixed? I mean in the MIT Kerberos codebase.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Yes.  Actually, the credential cache code does locking internally, so if the threads are all using the same client principal, you should be able to share a credentials cache.  (But any race conditions that might exist between processes accessing the same on-disk ccache will still exist in multiple threads independently opening and accessing the same on-disk ccache, and may require different fixes.)
