Hi Dan,

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried what you suggested:

 rpm -V `rpm -qf /usr/kerberos/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so`

but there is no error message (actually no message at all). And I queried
the
krb5 format and it's krb5-devel-1.2.7-10. Here is what I got from
the standard output.

=============={ Command & Std output }====================
[user_at_host user]$ rpm -V `rpm -qf /usr/kerberos/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so`
[user_at_host user]$ rpm -qf /usr/kerberos/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so
krb5-devel-1.2.7-10

==============={ End }=================================

If we have a wrong version of krb5-devel package installed, is there any
*safe* way
to fix it? The problem is that this machine is not my own box, so I have to
be very
cautious if I need to do a patch.

Thanks for your help.

Iris
