Since I only use heimdal as part of other ports, my interest is more or less academic, but if, as indicated, it is[[BR]] "much nicer than the included MIT kerberos," shouldn't it be returned to the central location so that other ports[[BR]] can more easily use it? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14775> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
