The following packages have been added to the Cygwin distribution:
* krb5-server-1.12.1-2
* krb5-workstation-1.12.1-2
* krb5-doc-1.12.1-2
* libgssapi_krb5_2-1.12.1-2
* libgssrpc4-1.12.1-2
* libk5crypto3-1.12.1-2
* libkadm5clnt_mit9-1.12.1-2
* libkadm5srv_mit9-1.12.1-2
* libkdb5_7-1.12.1-2
* libkrad0-1.12.1-2
* libkrb5_3-1.12.1-2
* libkrb5support0-1.12.1-2
* libkrb5-devel-1.12.1-2
This is the reference implementation of the Kerberos network
authentication protocol from MIT. It is designed to provide strong
authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key
cryptography.
This update replaces the Heimdal implementation of Kerberos with MIT's,
which is more commonly used by Linux distros, more frequently updated,
and better supported by Kerberos-dependent packages.
UPGRADE NOTES:
* If you currently have 'heimdal' installed, this will be replaced by
'krb5-workstation', which provides the user clients (kinit, klist,
kdestroy, etc.). If you wish to use the Kerberos daemons, you will need
to select 'krb5-server' for installation as well.
* The 'libkrb5-doc' package will be replaced by 'krb5-doc'.
* Some libraries were used only by the Heimdal daemons. These packages
have been removed from the distro and will appear in the Misc category
in setup; they may be safely uninstalled.
* A few packages have yet to be rebuilt for MIT Kerberos. They should
continue to operate as before, even with tickets and TGTs managed by the
krb5-workstation tools.
