According to http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/IPv6 and http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/mitK5features.html supported since 1.9. This was an issue 12 years ago http://kerberos.mit.narkive.com/4KSSxTp8/ipv6-support-in-mit-kerberos - if so, shouldn't we reconsider? Last heimdal 1.5.2 was released 3 years ago, while krb5 1.13 is 3.8 months old. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/kerberos5.html "The Heimdal Kerberos implementation was explicitly developed outside of the US to avoid export regulations." http://www.h5l.org/ "Heimdal is an implementation of Kerberos 5 (and some more stuff) largely written in Sweden (which was important when we started writing it, less so now)." It seems heimdal is obsoleted. MIT is definitely not. -- Tomasz Pala <go...@pld-linux.org> _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
