Hi,
It seems that Kerberos4 authentication is broken in fetchmail >= 5.9.1.
In fetchmail-5.9.0 it works (at least with the patch found in
http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2001-September/001087.html).

With 5.9.5 I get:

fetchmail: IMAP> A0001 CAPABILITY
fetchmail: IMAP< * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE 
UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT 
THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=KERBEROS_V4 X-NETSCAPE
fetchmail: IMAP< A0001 OK Completed
fetchmail: IMAP> A0002 AUTHENTICATE KERBEROS_V4
fetchmail: IMAP< + kLsiKg==
fetchmail: could not decode initial BASE64 challenge
fetchmail: IMAP> A0003 *

Would be nice if one could fix this. The krb4 implementation used on
client side: ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/src/krb4-1.0.9.tar.gz

Its still there in 5.9.7. Is there any way to fix this?

... and in 5.9.8 too. Am I the only one who has this problem or why does
nobody fix it or at least answer to my bug report? I thought one of the
arguments for opensource software is the short time until bugfixes are
available. But I did not even got any response to my last 2 mails
regarding to this problem. Nice politic - reminds me of a company with
the M. :-/

thanks,
ron
