I have been trying to setup a test network CVS server with Kerberos GSS authentication. I set up tickets, inetd.conf as described in cvs documentation. I have tested also that :pserver: method was functional. Trying to access CVS respository with :gserver: method crashes the client on assertion in src/client.c:1410. It seems (as far as I could understand, I am not Kerberos expert) the server requests buffer size of order 24kB, while cvs has fixed size buffer of max size 1024 bytes. I file it as cvs component bug (because it was cvs which dumped core) but I wonder if it isn't really krb5 bug, because it is the server response which seems wrong. I use the krb5 from Redhat Errata. PS. cvs-1.10.7-7 doesn't build from src.rpm as non root.
I tested GSS authentication on IMAP, and it works. I get reports in /var/log/messages that inetd dies on signal 1. It is the executed child, not the main inetd, as far as I can tell.
The not-rebuilding-as-non-root problems should be fixed in the 7 release of 1.10.8. The gserver assertion will need further debugging.
