- I'm involved with a project working with DECAthena network management
- software. We want to install MH 6.7.2 with MIME extensions to work
- with Hesiod and Kerberos in the standard system setup. I have patched
- MH 6.7.2 with the MIME patches from gatekeeper; this installation works
- fine on our Sun and DEcstation installations outside of Athena.
-
- I have the patches "mh.kerberos" from /pub/mail/ua/mh on gatekeeper.dec.com
- which appear to be what I need. However, in the patched "inc.c" and "msg.c"
- files, there is a structure and a function referenced which are not in
- the patched distribution or standard system libraries. These are :
-
- struct hes_postoffice
- and struct hes_postoffice *hes_postoffice(char *)
-
- I guess that the function calls hes_resolve to retrieve the mail host
- for the user. The two components of hes_postoffice which are used are :
-
- char **po_host, *po_type; /* ??? */
-
- There doesn't seem to be any documentation for these patches.
- Two questions :
-
- 1. Where did the Kerberos patches come from ?
- 2. Do I have to roll my own hes_postoffice function ?
-
- I don't think it is difficult to write the appropriate function, but I'd
- rather not if has been done already. We have Athena v1.0A.
-
- Thanks for any help,
- STF
