Package: krb5-admin-server Version: 1.4.4-7etch5 Severity: normal
I hate to be a pest, and perhaps I'm overlooking something, and if so, please point me in the correct direction. This bug has been marked closed as it is fixed in: krb5/1.6.dfsg.1-1, 1.6.dfsg.1-1 Would it be possible to have a fixed package released for Etch? This bug results in a denial of service when minimum password life is enforced. One can of course opt not to utilize minimum password life, but this essentially makes password history lists and maximum password life pointless as users can simply rapid password cycle back to their original passwords. Making this choice arguably reduces the security of the kerberized network and its related services. In networks which rely solely on Kerberos for authentication, such a denial of service is a critical block. Alternatively, and here is where I'm hoping you can point me in the correct direction: Is there a way to use 1.6.dfsg.1-1 on an Etch system while still tracking/obtaining security patches for this package automatically with apt without affecting the rest of the system?
