Hello, I have been requested to add KCM to the Debian packages - see bug #379245.
Based on my limited understanding, KCM is a system wide daemon that keeps track of user's Kerberos tickets, in memory, so they don't need to be stored in /tmp. This presumably means an /etc/init.d/* script will be required to start the daemon at boot. I have several options, and I am not sure which one to use: * include it in heimdal-servers. Pros: It is a server, natural choice. Cons: heimdal-servers conflicts with many other packages. * include it in heimdal-clients. Pros: presumably everyone who installs heimdal-clients will probably want KCM, as it appears to be so much better then using /tmp. Might make it easier to have Debian package use KCM by default. Cons: ??? * create heimdal-kcm package. Pros: very flexible. Cons: users may not realise it exists. I haven't investigated yet how to make KCM be used by default (I think standard upstream might require setting an environment variable). I am also not aware if KCM breaks compatibility with the MIT Kerberos libraries or not. Any suggestions? This is something I would like to get right first go ;-).
