Hi, the kadmind from heimdal 0.3c looses filedescriptors if running standalone. The following patch fixes this: *** kadmin/kadm_conn.c.orig Mon Nov 6 17:17:48 2000 --- kadmin/kadm_conn.c Mon Nov 6 17:20:04 2000 *************** *** 157,162 **** --- 157,164 ---- if(s != STDIN_FILENO && s != STDOUT_FILENO) close(s); return 0; + } else { + close(s); } return 1; } Cheers, Karsten.
