I tried posting a bug report to psql-ports@postgresql.org and it bounced.

I redirected the bounce message to hackers@postgreSQL.org (this list) and
it never showed up.

Hello?

Assuming this message got though I'd like to report my problems compiling
6.4 with KTH-KRB, and what I can say about how to fix it.

I'm still testing, but basically it looks like if you have kerberos 4 then
you need to disable use of the system crypt routines.  This *should* be
handled in the configure stuff.  I fixed it by modifying fe-auth.c and
fe-connect.c in libpq to not include <crypt.h> and by modifying
Makefile.global to include -lresolv instead of -lcrypt (that gives the
right load order).

The function des_encrypt exists in both the KTH kerberos and the system
crypt libraries with different arguments.

Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
