[OpenAFS-devel] IRIX 6.5, PAM and OpenAFS

[Atro Tossavainen]

Hello,

The ready-made kit of OpenAFS for SGI IRIX 6.5 does not contain the
OpenAFS PAM module.  However, IRIX has included the possibility to use
PAM for a while now, and I would very much like to make use of it as
one of the most annoying AFS gotchas on IRIX, that of not being able
to use the built-in screensaver, ought to go away when authentication
is performed against PAM instead of the built-in hooks to afs*authlib.so
in login, xdm and Visual Login, but not in xlock...

I have also tried to build OpenAFS 1.4.0 from source myself on this
IRIX 6.5.28 system, using

configure --disable-afsdb --enable-transarc-paths --with-afs-sysname=sgi_65

more or less as I would on a Linux system.  The system has gcc 3.4.2
and MIPSpro 7.3 compilers installed.  The configure says "checking for
gcc" and finds it but picks the MIPSpro compiler anyway, it seems.
Not that I particularly mind.  But it fails, in PAM:

set -x; \
if test "yes" = "yes"; then \
        cd src && cd pam && gmake all ; \
else \
        echo Skipping pam for sgi_65 ; \
fi
+ test yes = yes
+ cd src
+ cd pam
+ gmake all
