Name        : krb5
Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 1.7
Release     : 10.fc12
URL         : http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
Summary     : The Kerberos network authentication system
Description :
Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system,
which can improve your network's security by eliminating the insecure
practice of cleartext passwords.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The ksu application now uses PAM for account and session management, but the PAM
configuration file which it now requires was previously placed into the wrong
binary package.  In situations where the krb5-workstation package was installed
but the krb5-workstation-servers package was not, this caused the new PAM
functionality to always fail.  This update corrects the packaging error.

ChangeLog:

* Fri Nov 20 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-10
- move /etc/pam.d/ksu from krb5-workstation-servers to krb5-workstation,
  where it's actually needed (#538703)
* Tue Oct 13 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-9
- don't forget the README
