Cyrus SASL sample apps broken
Hi,
I'm relatively new to Ubuntu so apologies if I've missed something obvious here. I have setup a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 server on a VMware ESX host using the Ubuntu Server Edition installation CD by pressing F4 and choosing "Install a minimal virtual machine". I've tried a couple of times, once with none of the package groups selected, and once with the 'Basic Ubuntu server' set. Post installation I used apt to add the libsasl2-2 and sasl2-bin packages. Attempting to use the sasl-sample-server and sasl-sample-client applications results in the following exchange:
plockyer@
Generating client mechanism list...
Sending list of 7 mechanism(s)
S: Q1JBTS1NRDUgTE9
Waiting for client mechanism...
plockyer@
service=host
Waiting for mechanism list from server...
S: Q1JBTS1NRDUgTE9
sasl-sample-client: Decoding data from base64: bad protocol / cancel
Running the applications as root (via sudo) makes no difference to the result. I believe that the Kerberos side of things is OK as I can run kinit and get a ticket granting ticket OK (plus from where the sample apps fail I suspect that no attempt has been made to contact the KDC). If I download the source for Cyrus SASL and compile it the sample apps run correctly without the error above, so I suspect that this may be a bug in the packaged version (but then I could just be doing something wrong).
Any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue would be welcome.
Thanks..
Paul.
