Is libc4 incompatible with libc6 envrionment?
Re: Could libc4 programs be incompatible with libc6 environment?
We have some older libc4 programs: Tia, kerberos4, our
accounting packages and a whole raft of customer cgi scripts
come to mind right off.
After upgrading to libc6 AND development kernel 2.1.127 (de jour)
we found that kadmin - our kerberos admin tool - segfaults when
it tries to update/add a password, presumably when it is
talking to the kadmind daemon at the end of the routine.
root@gray:/usr/kerberos/bin# ldd kadmin
libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl24) => /lib/libc.so.4
root@gray:/lib# ls -l /lib/libc.so.4*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Mar 27 1997 /lib/libc.so.4 -> libc.so.4.6.27
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 634880 Dec 13 1994 /lib/libc.so.4.6.27
Is there a chance that changes in network structures/kernel headers
could obsolete these older libc4 programs?
Thanks
