- Description:
- Kerberos V5 is an authentication system developed at MIT.
Abridged from the User Guide:
Under Kerberos, a client sends a request for a ticket to the
Key Distribution Center (KDC). The KDC creates a ticket-granting
ticket (TGT) for the client, encrypts it using the client's
password as the key, and sends the encrypted TGT back to the
client. The client then attempts to decrypt the TGT, using
its password. If the client successfully decrypts the TGT, it
keeps the decrypted TGT, which indicates proof of the client's
identity. The TGT permits the client to obtain additional tickets,
which give permission for specific services.
Since Kerberos negotiates authenticated, and optionally encrypted,
communications between two points anywhere on the internet, it
provides a layer of security that is not dependent on which side of a
firewall either client is on.
The Kerberos V5 package is designed to be easy to use. Most of the
commands are nearly identical to UNIX network programs you are already
used to. Kerberos V5 is a single-sign-on system, which means that you
have to type your password only once per session, and Kerberos does
the authenticating and encrypting transparently.

Reconcile e2fsprogs ./. krb5-* conflicts.
* Move conflicting e2fsprogs headers & libs into .../e2fsprogs/... subdirs.
* Move conflicting awk scripts into ${DATADIR}.
* Rename and patch compile_et to e2fsprogs-compile_et.
* Remove conflict markers (from e2fsprogs and krb5-*).
* Add CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS to sysutils/fusefs-ext2, including
--rpath setting.
While here, also:
* sort pkg-plist and files/unwanted
* use FUSEFS_CONFIGURE_ENABLE=fuse2fs to prevent e2fsprogs from picking up
fusefs (implies --disable-fuse2fs if the option remains disabled)
* add --without-included-gettext to CONFIGURE_ARGS just to be on the safe
side.
And of course, bump PORTREVISION to 3 in e2fsprogs. Since other ports
do not change files or runtime behaviour, their PORTREVISION remains
untouched. |
