Release Meeting Minutes/2012-06-12

Thomas Hardjono, Greg Hudson, Simo Sorce, Zhanna Tsitkov, Tom Yu

Simo would like to do compile-time changes. /etc/krb5.keytab location

Greg

Multiple daemons, different UIDS. Nico doesn't want to require environment variables.

Tom

Environment variables can be accidentally set in ways that silently change behavior.

Greg

Bernstein's daemontools... upstart, systemd, ... keytab / ccache search. Nico's "Which is the first one you could create?"

Simo

Multiple default ccache locations are a bad idea. (session creds? etc.)

Greg

Username? UID?

Simo

UID may be simpler from security perspective. Can you start creating directories for DIR ccache?

Greg will look into it. Tentatively can autocreate.

Greg

If you have an empty DIR or no default, should it become the default cache (once you have the keytab creds)? If you kinit with a DIR ccache, it sets the default identity.

Simo

Regular expressions for default ccache?

Greg

Heimdal has expand_path substitution.

Simo

Escaping?

Greg

No username substitution; could be added later. Path extension probably on Unix only.
