Is this with the im locker install? About 10 minutes ago, I did some
testing, Iand didn't have any problems signing on to zephyr from
either gaim or gaim-0.66 from the im locker, on both x.dialup (an
Athena 9.2 sun), and zygorthian-space-raiders (running Athena 9.2
Linux). I haven't made any changes to the 9.1 side (and won't be
doing so in the future), and it should be working there too.
I've seen gaim zephyr giving that error in the following
circumstances:
1) You either have no krb4 tickets or expired krb4 tickets.
2) Your time is out of bounds (or your timezone is incorrectly set).
If ntpd isn't running on your machine, try typing (as root)
/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.mit.edu
to sync your machine's clock against the kerberos servers.
3) The gaim zephyr plugin was compiled withou t kerberos support. This
is true for virtually every single precompiled gaim package, and is
the default when you've compiled it yourself. To make sure that gaim
is compiled with kerberos support, add
--with-krb4=/path/to/krb4 to the configure line, where /path/to/krb4
is one of /usr (on debian), /usr/kerberos (on redhat), /usr/local (if
you've compiled kerberos your self), or /usr/athena (on athena).
Let me know if you have any further questions, or comments.
