"Kerberos and LON-CAPA, The Way it Should Be Done"
contributed by Scott, sharrison@users.sourceforge.net

-------------------------------------------------------
This document should be read by those with experience
administering RedHat Linux systems.
NOTE: Most people will just use the LON-CAPA-krb4
rpm (available from http://install.lon-capa.org/).
You probably only would want to look at this document
if you NEED kerberos (it is not necessary for many
institutions)AND if you are installing on a NON-REDHAT
operating system.
Software dependencies:
* You will likely need 'devel' rpms
RedHat 7.* note:
Need several devel rpms to compile kerberos...
db3-devel
db2-devel
libtermcap-devel
Here are the steps:
* Get the perl kerberos module from CPAN (http://www.cpan.org/)
The module version I got was
Krb4-1.1
* Get athena-kerberos-version-4
The tarball looks like this:
krb4-0.10.1.tar
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS THE SWEDISH VERSION, NOT THE MIT
VERSION.
NOTE THAT KERBEROS VERSION 4 IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING
THAN KERBEROS VERSION 5. (Although newer versions of
Kerberos version 5 claim to be backwards compatible with
Kerberos version 4...we have not tested this yet.)
On the world-wide web, an example URL to get this is
http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/Mirror/kth-krb/src/
Suffice it to say the tarball will likely be maintained/retained
for sometime in the sunsite-->metalab-->ibiblio repository system
There are several more recent releases since Sept 1999, perhaps
we should try to use them in the future.
* Install athena-kerberos-version-4 by
altering configure.in to read
[root@kirk krb4-0.10.1]# diff configure.in configure.in~
27c27
< AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr/local/krb4)
---
> AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr/athena)
In other words, /usr/local/krb4 is what you want on this line!!!!
* Generate new configure file by typing this command:
autoconf configure.in > configure
* Then, of course:
./configure
* Then compile:
make
* Then install:
make install
* The perl module will now install correctly
(otherwise it would have been severely upset
due to kerberos being in /usr/athena as opposed to /usr/local/krb4).
* Perl module installation is as usual:
perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install
* Go get a cup of coffee so you don't see all the weird warning
messages that flash at you.
* It really works.
