No value has been assigned to the symbol GSS_C_AF_INET6 in a standards-track IETF document, so one might argue that its absence is the correct behavior, as unfortunate as that may be. Apparently it has been in the Heimdal tree since 1999, though (!). Since FreeBSD is basically stuck with the Heimdal implementation for POLA reasons, it would probably be okay to synchronize the installed version with Heimdal's version. My understanding was that python-gssapi was intended to support both Heimdal and MIT implementations, so given that MIT (correctly) does not provide a GSS_C_AF_INET6 symbol, I am somewhat surprised that python-gssapi cannot cope with its absence. -Ben Kaduk _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
