[160] in Kerberos_V5_Development
Minutes of 30 January 1990 meeting
jtkohl@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (jtkohl@ATHENA.MIT.EDU)
Tue Jan 30 15:37:33 1990
Present: John Kohl, Ken Raeburn, Bill Sommerfeld, Ted Ts'o, Barry
Jaspan, Andrew Greene
status reports:
Bill: working on Imakefiles (mostly done), also klist, kdestroy, kinit,
function to get local addresses from kernel
Barry: file-based cache is up & limping (not extensively tested)
Andrew: has been otherwise occupied
Ted: likewise
Ken: likewise; interested in working on network code (server & client
side)
John: kdb_dbm converted from v4, some libos stuff, chunks of KDC code
Jay: libkt work, plus some thinking about command line args (he will
post when he returns)
other items:
- flame about locking, etc... libos locking calls will get an
additional filename argument (to support systems which lock by
filenames rather than open files)
- there is (slightly moldy) pseudo-code in the protocol spec draft for
some of the libkrb routines
- proto spec needs some "real-world" experience for non-IP addresses.
- flame about struct { int bar; char baz[1]} vs struct {int bar; char
*baz}; not resolved.
Action items:
* John will work on getting POSIX specs
* John will look at current code and decide whether to change structures
with variable-length arrays to use pointers instead.
