Problems with rootd (1.03/03)

Hello!

I'm having problems with rootd of version 1.03/03 on Sun (SunOS 5.5.1) and
SGI (IRIX 5.3). Both machines are using AFS 3.4. The client was a Linux
machine without AFS using ROOT 1.03/04.

On the SGI I'm not able to authenticate:
Error in <TNetFile::Authenticate>: wrong passwd
Error in <TNetFile::TNetFile>: autentication failed for host y4me

On the Sun the authentication works fine but there is a <defunct> process
left for each closed TNetFile:
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
casties 10611 8896 0 0:00 <defunct>
casties 9265 8896 0 0:00 <defunct>
[lots more...]
casties 11833 6621 0 17:10:09 pts/36 0:00 egrep (PID|cas)
casties 8896 1 0 14:53:20 ? 0:00 rootd -p 5151
casties 6621 6580 0 13:13:41 pts/36 0:01 -zsh
The processes disappear when the deamon is killed.

Otherwise this is a very nice feature (since I don't have access to AFS on
my Linux-PC :-)

Have there been any changes in rootd since 1.03/03? Might it be worth
trying rootd of 1.03/04?

Cheers
Robert
