Description Simo Sorce 2011-05-02 21:07:53 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #701444 +++

libkrb5 has issues working in processes that have more than 1024 files open due to the use of select()
Upstream has a patch to make libkrb5 use poll() instead.

Please backport it to RHEL5 so that daemons like samba do not have issues in those cases.
