I am trying to buid kerberos5 on a Sun running 4.1.1 and having
problems with kinit. Looking through old mail messages I came across
the following two messages that sound like the same problem that I am
having.
On Jul 30, 1991, whrahe@somnet.sandia.gov (Nov-William H Rahe) posted
the message:
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?
and then agin on the same day, tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (Theodore Ts'o)

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.
Does anyone know if this problem was resolved and what the fix was?
Also I would like to hear from some other people that have gotten
kerberos5 up and running on SunOS 4.1.1 so that I may get some advice
on how to make this easier.
