Package: kerberos4kth-clients
Version: 1.2.2-11.2
Severity: normal
I can no longer use krxtelnet, and the reason seems to be that ktelnet
fails to send environment variables properly. If I enable options logging, it
prints this:
SENT WILL NEW-ENVIRON
...
RCVD DO NEW-ENVIRON
..
RCVD IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND
SENT IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON IS USERVAR "XAUTHORITY" VAR "DISPLAY" VAR "USER"
The output of the telnet command "environ list" looks like this
(uninteresting parts excluded):
ktelnet> environ list
* XAUTHORITY /tmp/AhQCJq0
* DISPLAY fidgit:39
* USER david
When I try the same thing from another host, with a non-debian
installation, I see this:
SENT IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON IS VAR "DISPLAY" VALUE "tjatte:47" VAR "PRINTER"
VALUE "strindberg" VAR "USER" VALUE "david"
As you can see, the debian client doesn't print any VALUEs, and
consequently, the environment variables are not set on the remote
host.
This used to work, but stopped working after some upgrade, probably
some time during the spring. But I didn't track down the problem
until now.

The kerberos4 packages have been removed from Debian unstable.
According to http://bugs.debian.org/358480
Mikael> I'm not maintaining it and I think that all kerberos4
Mikael> support should be removed from debian because it's
Mikael> unsecure and the kerberos4kth packages should be removed
Mikael> from future versions of debian. If you have any discussion
Mikael> with the mit krb maintainer you can let him know my point
Mikael> of view and do anything you want with the kerberos4kth
Mikael> package you want.
It also is obsolete and has release critical bugs.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
