Hello Bill: Two questions regarding how you determined in what file the symbol was defined (for the sake of learning).

Did you know that krb5-related symbols would be defined in the krb5-libs package because of package naming conventions? > gwiz% nm /usr/lib/libkrb5.a | grep krb5_cc_get_principal > U krb5_cc_get_principal > 00000138 T krb5_cc_get_principal > U krb5_cc_get_principal > U krb5_cc_get_principal > U krb5_cc_get_principal > nm: ser_eblk.o: no symbols > U krb5_cc_get_principal How did you get to finding libkrb5.a? Again, is this a naming convention of packages (e.g. all symbols are in files name libPACKAGENAME.a in /usr/lib/?) > I had to use the .a library rather than the .so shared library since > the .so libraries have been stripped of the symbols.
