There will be a 1.7.7 release early next week. It will include the GSSAPI
patch sent yesterday and a fix to a tcp_wrappers problem reported today. Code
review of GSSAPI support shows that we may need to make a couple more changes
to it before people start widely deploying it. This should all be taken care
of in 1.7.7 which I am hoping to be able to release soon.
When I try to build here at SuSE our buildsystem flags the following:
binary /sbin/auditd is linked against libraries in /usr or /opt
libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0xb7f65000)
libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0xb7d75000)
libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0xb7d50000)
libkrb5support.so.0 => /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0 (0xb7d43000)
You mentioned (on IRC) rsyslog being another /sbin executable which made use
of GSS but (at least for the package I had access to) the GSS dependancies are
isolated to the rsyslog-module-gssapi module. Modules are loaded by rsyslog
based on configuration file using dlopen().
Clearly this is a bit smoke-n-mirror ish but the direct ldd depenancy between
auditd and GSS is kinda problematic. I assume GSS resides in /usr/lib for
Fedora/RHEL too? Clearly one don't have to configure GSS support in.
Appreciate any comments.
