several new kerberos related libraries and applications to FreeBSD:
o kgetcred(1) allows one to manually get a ticket for a particular service.
o kf(1) securily forwards ticket to another host through an authenticated
and encrypted stream.
o kcc(1) is an umbrella program around klist(1), kswitch(1), kgetcred(1)
and other user kerberos operations. klist and kswitch are just symlinks
to kcc(1) now.
o kswitch(1) allows you to easily switch between kerberos credentials if
you're running KCM.
o hxtool(1) is a certificate management tool to use with PKINIT.
o string2key(1) maps a password into key.
o kdigest(8) is a userland tool to access the KDC's digest interface.
o kimpersonate(8) creates a "fake" ticket for a service.
We also now install manpages for some lirbaries that were not installed
before, libheimntlm and libhx509.
- The new HEIMDAL version no longer supports Kerberos 4. All users are
recommended to switch to Kerberos 5.
- Weak ciphers are now disabled by default. To enable DES support (used
by telnet(8)), use "allow_weak_crypto" option in krb5.conf.
- libtelnet, pam_ksu and pam_krb5 are now compiled with error on warnings
disabled due to the function they use (krb5_get_err_text(3)) being
deprecated. I plan to work on this next.
- Heimdal's KDC now require sqlite to operate. We use the bundled version
and install it as libheimsqlite. If some other FreeBSD components will
require it in the future we can rename it to libbsdsqlite and use for these
components as well.
- This is not a latest Heimdal version, the new one was released while I was
working on the update. I will update it to 1.5.2 soon, as it fixes some
important bugs and security issues.
of releases. The -DNOCRYPT build option still exists for anyone who
really wants to build non-cryptographic binaries, but the "crypto"
release distribution is now part of "base", and anyone installing from a
release will get cryptographic binaries.

Discussed on: freebsd-current, in late April 2004
on the release media -- only put what is different in the crypto
version compared to the base version. This reduces PAM entries
in /usr/lib in the "crypto" distribution to:
libpam.a
libpam.so@
libpam.so.2
pam_krb5.so@
pam_krb5.so.2
pam_ksu.so@
pam_ksu.so.2
pam_ssh.so@
pam_ssh.so.2
The libpam.so* is still redundant (it is identical to the "base"
version), but we can't set DISTRIBUTION differently for libpam.a
and libpam.so.
(The removal of libpam.so* from the crypto distribution could be
addressed by the release/scripts/crypto-make.sh script, but then
we'd also need to remove redundant PAM headers, and I'm not sure
this is worth a hassle.)
call (pam_get_authtok() will return the previous token if try_first_pass
or use_first_pass is specified). Incidentally fix an ugly bug where the
buffer holding the prompt was freed immediately before use, instead of
after.
