Re: [PORTS] PostgreSQL and Kerberos 5 on Solaris

Never saw a followup on this.

I'd suggest krb5_init_context() since it's the first thing any  
Kerberos app needs to do, and the returned context value is used on  
99% of all other calls.  That's assuming that there aren't other  
kerberos checks that make it unnecessary of course.
