Hi Jeremy, 
 
Running valgrind is part of the procedure. 
 
Thanks

Thanks Vinayak, looks interesting ! The only thing I'd recommend if you
haven't already done it is to run the whole KDC + DAL code under
valgrind
(http://valgrind.org/) if you haven't already done so. If you haven't
it'll
find bugs - lots of them (it does for Samba :-). Apologies if this is
already
part of your test proceedure, it's just that previous krb5 MIT releases
haven't
been valgrind-safe in the past and I wanted to make sure DAL would be
:-).

Cheers,

Jeremy.
