I'm using the default pam_krb5 that comes with CentOS 5.2... 2.2.14.  I take it that I will need to update to 3.13 to get this added feature to prompt for principal?  I'll have to hunt for a RHEL/CentOS compatible RPM or build one myself.

I did not create a keytab, nor have I registered the host in AD.  I was under the impression that I didn't need to unless I wanted to use other features such as password changes.  The use case I'm dealing with doesn't require this feature.  Am I incorrect in saying I don't need a keytab or to add the client host to AD in this case?

Thanks for your help,

Jim
