        !             7: This document should be read by those with experience
        !             8: administering RedHat Linux systems.
        !             9: 
        !            10: NOTE: Most people will just use the LON-CAPA-krb4
        !            11: rpm (available from http://install.lon-capa.org/).
        !            12: You probably only would want to look at this document
        !            13: if you NEED kerberos (it is not necessary for many

        !            19: * You will likely need 'devel' rpms

        !            21:   RedHat 7.* note:

1.3     ! harris41   27: Here are the steps:
1.1       harris41   28: 
                     29: * Get the perl kerberos module from CPAN (http://www.cpan.org/)
                     30:   The module version I got was
                     31:   Krb4-1.1
                     32: 
                     33: * Get athena-kerberos-version-4
                     34:   The tarball looks like this:
                     35:   krb4-0.10.1.tar
1.3     ! harris41   36:   IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS THE SWEDISH VERSION, NOT THE MIT
        !            37:   VERSION.
        !            38:   NOTE THAT KERBEROS VERSION 4 IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING
        !            39:   THAN KERBEROS VERSION 5.  (Although newer versions of
        !            40:   Kerberos version 5 claim to be backwards compatible with
        !            41:   Kerberos version 4...we have not tested this yet.)
1.1       harris41   42:   
1.3     ! harris41   43:   On the world-wide web, an example URL to get this is
1.1       harris41   44:   http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/Mirror/kth-krb/src/
                     45:   Suffice it to say the tarball will likely be maintained/retained
                     46:   for sometime in the sunsite-->metalab-->ibiblio repository system
1.3     ! harris41   47: 
        !            48:   There are several more recent releases since Sept 1999, perhaps
        !            49:   we should try to use them in the future.
1.1       harris41   50: 
                     51: * Install athena-kerberos-version-4 by
                     52:   altering configure.in to read
                     53: [root@kirk krb4-0.10.1]# diff configure.in configure.in~
                     54: 27c27
                     55: < AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr/local/krb4)
                     56: ---
                     57: > AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr/athena)
                     58:      
1.3     ! harris41   59:   In other words, /usr/local/krb4 is what you want on this line!!!!
1.1       harris41   60: 
1.3     ! harris41   61: * Generate new configure file by typing this command:
1.1       harris41   62:  
                     63:    autoconf configure.in > configure
                     64: 
1.3     ! harris41   65: * Then, of course:
1.1       harris41   66:    ./configure
1.3     ! harris41   67: * Then compile:
1.1       harris41   68:   make
1.3     ! harris41   69: * Then install:
1.1       harris41   70:   make install
                     71: 
1.3     ! harris41   72: * The perl module will now install correctly
        !            73:   (otherwise it would have been severely upset
        !            74:    due to kerberos being in /usr/athena as opposed to /usr/local/krb4).
1.1       harris41   75: 
1.3     ! harris41   76: * Perl module installation is as usual:
1.1       harris41   77:   perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install
                     78: 
1.3     ! harris41   79: * Go get a cup of coffee so you don't see all the weird warning
        !            80:   messages that flash at you.
1.1       harris41   81: 
1.3     ! harris41   82: * It really works.
