NAME
       krb5-send-pr - send problem report (PR) to a central support site

SYNOPSIS
       krb5-send-pr [ site ] [ -f problem-report ] [ -t mail-address ]
	       [ -P ] [ -L ] [ -s severity ] [ -c address ]
	       [ --request-id ] [ -V ]

DESCRIPTION
       krb5-send-pr  is	 a tool used to submit problem reports (PRs) to a cen‐
       tral support site.  In most cases the correct site will be the default.
       This  argument  indicates the support site which is responsible for the
       category of problem involved.  Some sites may use a local address as  a
       default.	 site values are defined by using the aliases(5).

       krb5-send-pr invokes an editor on a problem report template (after try‐
       ing to fill in some fields with reasonable default values).   When  you
       exit  the  editor, krb5-send-pr sends the completed form to the Problem
       Report Management System (GNATS) at a central  support  site.   At  the
       support	site,  the PR is assigned a unique number and is stored in the
       GNATS database according to its category and submitter-id.  GNATS auto‐
       matically  replies with an acknowledgement, citing the category and the
       PR number.

       To ensure that a	 PR  is	 handled  promptly,  it	 should	 contain  your
       (unique)	 submitter-id  and one of the available categories to identify
       the problem area.  (Use `krb5-send-pr -L' to see a list of categories.)

       The krb5-send-pr template at your site  should  already	be  customized
       with  your  submitter-id	 (running `install-sid submitter-id' to accom‐
       plish this is part of the installation  procedures  for	krb5-send-pr).
       If  this	 hasn't been done, see your system administrator for your sub‐
       mitter-id,  or  request	one  from  your	 support  site	 by   invoking
       `krb5-send-pr --request-id'.  If your site does not distinguish between
       different user sites, or if you are not	affiliated  with  the  support
       site, use `net' for this field.

       The  more  precise  your problem description and the more complete your
       information, the faster your support team can solve your problems.

OPTIONS
       -f problem-report
	      specify a file (problem-report) which already  contains  a  com‐
	      plete  problem  report.	krb5-send-pr sends the contents of the
	      file without invoking the editor.	 If  the  value	 for  problem-
	      report is `-', then krb5-send-pr reads from standard input.

       -s severity
	      Give the problem report the severity severity.

       -t mail-address
	      Change  mail  address  at	 the support site for problem reports.
	      The default mail-address is the address  used  for  the  default
	      site.   Use  the site argument rather than this option in nearly
	      all cases.

       -c address
	      Put address in the Cc: header of the message.

       -P     print the form specified by the environment variable PR_FORM  on
	      standard	output.	  If  PR_FORM  is  not set, print the standard
	      blank PR template.  No mail is sent.

       -L     print the list of available categories.  No mail is sent.

       --request-id
	      sends mail to the default support site, or  site	if  specified,
	      with a request for your submitter-id.  If you are not affiliated
	      with site, use a submitter-id of net'.

       -V     Display the krb5-send-pr version number.

       Note: use krb5-send-pr to submit problem reports	 rather	 than  mailing
       them  directly.	 Using	both the template and krb5-send-pr itself will
       help ensure all necessary information will reach the support site.

ENVIRONMENT
       The environment variable EDITOR specifies the editor to invoke  on  the
       template.
       default: vi

       If  the	environment variable PR_FORM is set, then its value is used as
       the file name of the template for your problem-report editing  session.
       You can use this to start with a partially completed form (for example,
       a form with the identification fields already completed).

HOW TO FILL OUT A PROBLEM REPORT
       Problem reports have to be in a particular form so that a  program  can
       easily manage them.  Please remember the following guidelines:

       ·  describe only one problem with each problem report.

       ·  For  follow-up  mail,	 use  the  same subject line as the one in the
	  automatic acknowledgent. It consists of category, PR number and  the
	  original synopsis line.  This allows the support site to relate sev‐
	  eral mail messages to a particular PR and to record  them  automati‐
	  cally.

       ·  Please  try to be as accurate as possible in the subject and/or syn‐
	  opsis line.

       ·  The subject and the synopsis line are	 not  confidential.   This  is
	  because  open-bugs lists are compiled from them.  Avoid confidential
	  information there.

       See the GNU Info file krb5-send-pr.info or the document Reporting Prob‐
       lems With krb5-send-pr for detailed information on reporting problems

HOW TO SUBMIT TEST CASES, CODE, ETC.
       Submit  small  code  samples with the PR.  Contact the support site for
       instructions on submitting larger test  cases  and  problematic	source
       code.

FILES
       /tmp/p$$	    copy of PR used in editing session
       /tmp/pf$$    copy of empty PR form, for testing purposes
       /tmp/pbad$$  file for rejected PRs
