Subject: kerberos problems with Mac OS9
I have a Mac G4 running OS9 and am having problems with my Kerberos.
1. When starting up almost half the time I receive an error message
"k5 client unimplimented trap, restart with extensions off
2. For reasons unknown, the login authentication does not recognize
my login or password without reinstalling os 9 and the connectivity
package (i.e., reinstalling kerbos).
If it helps, I obtained Kerberos from the U of Chicago connectivity
package 6.0.
Thank you for your assistance.

Sounds like a Mac problem. *But*, it could be a problem with
UChicago's internal distribution, depending whether they've made any
changes....

State-Changed-Why:
K5 client is not ours, that's a bizarre NRL concoction which returns
k5 tickets when k4 tickets are asked for. It makes Eudora with v4
support work against the bogus v5 KPOP server, and that's about it.
This is a problem with both
- the fact that UChicago is distribution that to people and
- the fact that k5 client is crashing
but neither of those are our problem. I will respond to the guy after
I talk mjv.

Raymond,
Greetings,
I have a Mac G4 running OS9 and am having problems with my Kerberos.
1. When starting up almost half the time I receive an error message
"k5 client unimplimented trap, restart with extensions off
2. For reasons unknown, the login authentication does not recognize
my login or password without reinstalling os 9 and the connectivity
package (i.e., reinstalling kerbos).
If it helps, I obtained Kerberos from the U of Chicago connectivity
package 6.0.
From the description in your message and from reading a support web
page at UChicago, it looks like you are running
"K5Client". Unfortunately "K5Client" is an awful hack written by
another site that is neither supported nor encouraged to be used by
the Kerberos development team. The real KClient is a Kerberos v4 only
implementation and the real Kerberos v5 for the Macintosh does not
have any connection to KClient.
K5Client is a mutant version of KClient that has been modified to
acquire and send Kerberos v5 tickets in order to support Eudora and
Telnet applications in Kerberos v5 only sites. These normally Kerberos
v4 based applications can be supported with this modification because
they have a very narrow use of the KClient API. Other applications
which use KClient will not function with this K5Client nor will
applications that natively support Kerberos v5.
I'm sorry that UChicago has decided to rely on this software. The MIT
Kerberos team can offer you no support. As development continues on
Kerberos for Macintosh (which includes the real KClient and Kerberos
v5 implementations for Mac OS), K5Client is less likely to continue
functioning. Many applications are going to be updated over the next
year to take advantage of the new Apple operating system and the new
Kerberos releases. K5Client is probably not going to make that
transition well (nor should it).
The only thing I can offer is that you contact your UChicago computing
support organization for further help with this particular product.
