   I have successfully? built V5 on a Sun 4/110. I created the database
   (/krb5/principal.xxx).  Used kdb5_stash to preserve the key.  Created
   two principals whrahe using kdb5_edit av4k facility and whrahev5 using
   kdb5_edit ank facility.  Started krb5kdc in background (not in inetd)
   Using old V4 kinit I obtain tickets for whrahe.  Using V5 kinit with
   whrahev5, I get:

     kinit: Cannot find KDC for requested realm while getting initial
    credentials. 

   What piece of the puzzle am I missing?
   .
You should make sure that you have created krb.conf and krb.realms files
in /krb5.  If that didn't fix the problem, you may have discovered a
more deep-seated problem with Kerberos V5 on Suns.  I've gotten a
similar report from someone else who said that his krb.conf and
krb.realms were correctly set up but who still had problems.  I don't
know what explicitly causing the problem or a fix yet, however.  If you
can find more information, I would appreciate it if you could send it to
krb5-bugs@MIT.EDU.
