Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2010-05-24 14:40:14 UTC
Description of problem:
At build-time, krb5-appl doesn't detect openpty(), so it doesn't know how to allocate pseudo-terminals for clients of remote login services.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a "host" key.
2. Turn on the eklogin service.
3. Try to use /usr/kerberos/bin/rlogin to log in.
  
Actual results:
Authentication succeeds, but the connection is closed immediately.

Expected results:
Shell prompt.

Additional info:
Found internally by Zbysek Mraz, filed as RT#6732, fixed in the upstream 1.0.1 release.

Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2010-05-25 17:20:32 UTC
Testing will likely require selinux-policy-3.7.19-21.el6, which fixes bug #594833.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
