We are having a problem with ksrvtgt. Given the following:
1. On the master kerberos server we make a 'machine_name-new-srvtab' file using
'ext_srvtab -n machine_name'. We put this file on 'machine_name'.
2. On machine_name we copy machine_name-new-srvtab to /etc/srvtab as root.
3. As root, we execute 'ksrvtgt rcmd machine_name', we get 'Password incorrect'.
We originally used 'kdb_edit' to put rcmd.machine_name@OUR_REALM in the
master database with a RANDOM password. All kerberized network utilities
using /etc/srvtab work fine.
We also noticed that there is a bug in ksrvtgt in that the 'krb_get_lrealm'
call has the wrong arguments. If your KRB_REALM value does not match your
local realm in /etc/krb.conf, it dumps core. The original call was:
krb_get_lrealm(realm)
It should be:
krb_get_lrealm(realm, 1)
If anyone has information about ksrvtgt that we are missing I would
appreciate any help you could give.
Thanks,
