Description of problem: krb5-workstation is a pain because it required xinetd. krb5-workstation should really be _at_least_ two sub packages that break things out into inet services that require xinetd, client utils that include the network programs that use gss service, and another package for manipulating kerberos tickets. I can do the work and send you a spec file patch if you would like. I am on a crusade to get rid of all the bogus deps that pull in xinetd.
Created attachment 106037 [details] proposed spec file changes Attached is a proposed spec file that splits workstation into user and inet subpackages.
You need to handle the upgrade cases (obsoleting krb5-workstation, triggering xinetd restarts as appropriate) for this to not break on upgrades.
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
