Perhaps because you didn't install Kerberos? hi, On Sun, Sep 09, 2001 at 02:47:04AM +0300, Giorgos Keramidas wrote: > >Number: 30443 > >Category: docs > >Synopsis: remove broken reference to kerberos(1) from manpage of security(7) > >Description: > > The security(7) manpage refers to kerberos(1) in SEE ALSO. > I dont seem to be able to find anything about kerberos in man1/. It's exists as src/crypto/kerberosIV/man/kerberos.1 and you need to install Kerberos to have this page. [Mark Murray CCed as a general Kerberos guru]
Is there any reason not to include a stub kerberos.1 with the base
system that explains what Kerberos is and how you install it? It's a
little hard to see where all the different Kerberos pieces come in to
play and why they aren't installed when you type 'make world'. This
man page would also unbreak all the other man pages that currently
point to kerberos(1).

Great idea!

Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->keramida Over to originator. Responsible Changed From-To: keramida->trhodes Over to me since keramida is away. Evaluation time: Kerberos is not build and installed on my system, but the kerberos(8) manual page exists. It seems to be installed for some reason. I'll look into it and deal with this PR.

I'll look into it and deal with this PR. IIRC, in FreeBSD 5.X kerberos4 support has been removed and kerberos5 is installed by default (unless NO_KERBEROS is used). The Makefile that installs kerberos.8 is /usr/src/kerberos5/lib/libkrb5/Makefile. This is from a relatively recent 5.X source tree (built right after running cvsup at approximately: Fri Jun 13 10:00:00 UTC 2003). Tom, many thanks for looking into this :) On Sat, 14 Jun 2003 01:26:28 +0300 Giorgos Keramidas <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> wrote: > On 2003-06-13 14:58, Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> wrote: > > Kerberos is not build and installed on my system, but the > > kerberos(8) manual page exists.

I'm pestering Mark Murray right now to see if the kerberos(8) manual page gets installed with or without kerberos installed. For some reason I have it installed on my system and I've never ever installed kerberos. Not when I first installed FreeBSD on here, not during a build/install world (set the NO_KERBEROS option in make.conf). I'll see what I can dig up, thanks for sticking around and emailing me about this. Now, if you have any comments on the other PR (compress bug) I'd love to hear them. Take care my friend! -- Tom Rhodes State Changed From-To: open->patched According to Mark Murray, the kerberos(8) manual page gets installed only if NO_KERBEROS is set. So, I went ahead and xrefed that manual page instead. State Changed From-To: patched->closed After a discussion with markm, it appears to be in the best interest to completely remove the Xref. |
