Hi, If i read the source code correct with MIT kerberos a comment sign is only allowed at the beginning of the line. Is there a reason why spaces before the comment sign aren't allowed? I think many people wants do this: [libdefaults] #default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM default_realm = MY.REALM I think to change this behaviour is very easy. ============= original prof_parse.c =================== [...] if (line[0] == ';' || line[0] == '#') return 0; strip_line(line); cp = skip_over_blanks(line); ch = *cp; if (ch == 0) return 0; [...] ======================================================== The only change is to do "skip_over_blanks(line)" first and after this, check for a comment sign. -- MFG Michael Calmer -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Calmer SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nürnberg T: +49 (0) 911 74053 0 F: +49 (0) 911 74053575 - Michael.Calmer@suse.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------
