Authen::Krb5::KDB is a set of perl modules to read and parse Kerberos V5 dump files. Currently it supports Version 3, 4 and 5 dump files. While I want to add new features to these modules, I think the interface is fairly stable. Therefore will be the last alpha release unless I hear of any problems with or suggestions to change the interface. If you have any suggestions, problems, or comments please email me at the address below. You install the library by running these commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install This assumes that you've installed the kerberos program kdb5_util in the standard location of /usr/local/sbin. If you have installed it in a non-standard location like /usr/local/krb5/sbin, then use the KDB5_UTIL_PATH argument to Makefile.PL as follows: perl Makefile.PL KDB5_UTIL_PATH=/usr/local/krb5/sbin The module KDB_H.pm is generated via the script gen_kdb_h.plx but since it requires the Kerberos sources to be available it's not run automatically from the Makefile. The module in this distribution is build from Kerberos Version 1.2.4 and should work on any older versions. If you want to rebuild the KDB_H.pm module, run the following command with the appropriate path to your Kerberos sources: perl gen_kdb_h.plx /my/sources/krb5-1.2.4/src The following modules are required: Carp POSIX Please report any bugs/suggestions to Copyright (c) 2002 David K.
