Known Bugs in MIT Kerberos for Macintosh 3.0.1

Behavior

Workaround

My laptop won't go to sleep when Kerberos for Macintosh is installed.

None. This bug will be fixed in the next release of KfM 3.x.

Kerberos Manager and Kerberos using applications crash with an error of type 12 on NuBus PowerMacintoshes.

None. This bug will be fixed in the next release of KfM 3.x.

When I use K5Client mode with Eudora, the Mac crashes.

There is a bug in KfM 3.0.1 which causes a crash when using K5Client and the Kerberos Login dialog is brought up automatically from Eudora. To work around the problem, first get your v5 ticket via Kerberos Manager before retrieving mail from Eudora.

I see double characters when typing in the Login dialog when using preauthentication.

You can try again, as this is a timing issue, but you may encounter the problem repeatedly. This bug will be fixed in the next release of KfM 3.x.

Some Kerberos v5 applications such as BetterTelnet and KLPR which have support for earlier versions fail on launch trying to find a Kerberos library. This is because the Kerberos v5 library CFM version number changed.

None. These applications will need to be rebuilt against the new libraries.

Applications may run out of memory sooner or not run at all because of insufficient memory.

Increase memory allocation by up to 250K. Kerberos for Macintosh 3.x requires more memory than 2.5.1.

Applications with custom CDEFs which override the Appearance CDEF will cause the Login dialog to behave strangely (eg: Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint).

None. You must close the resource file that contains the custom CDEF before calling Kerberos functions which may display a dialog.

Trying to open AppleShare server with KClient UAM from the Chooser does nothing.

Use the Network Browser.

Trying to open AppleShare server with KClient UAM from the Network Browser under Limited mode with Mac OS 9's Multiple Users does not succeed.

Make an alias to that server configured to use the KClient UAM available to that user.
