Hello to everyone.

I have some questions which I hope you can help me with:

(Platform: HP 730 HP_UX 8.07)

I have just compiled and installed eBones with patchlevel 9 (to put back the
calls to the encryption routines), and put in the Kerberos compatible
deslibrary written by Dana L. How.  The kerberos server (kerberos) seems to
be running all right, and so does kinit, klist and most of the other 
kerberos software. I am able to get an initial ticket and list this.

My problems/questions is as follows:

1) How can I test that the communication really is encrypted properly ?
   (That is, how can I be sure that the deslibrary functions smooth with
    the rest of Kerberos ?)
I do not have the verify program which the installation notes talks about.

2) The kadmind server seems to be running OK, but I experience problems
   with the kadmin program. Every time I try to execute a command I get the
   error message "kadm error: Can't find Kerberos ticket or TGT". This happens
   even if klist tells me I have a ticket for the admin instance. I have made
   sure that an admin instance is registered in the Kerberos database, and that
   the same instance appears on the /kerberos/admin_acl.{add,mod,get). The
   dump of the database, the relevant line of the accesslist, the listing
   from klist and a dump of /kerkeros/kerberos.log is shown below.

   DATABASE DUMP:
	changepw kerberos 255 1 1 1 7f000000 0 200001010459 199208251820 * *

   ACCESSLIST FILES (3 equal ones):
	orjanr.admin@cs.UiT.No

   LISTING FROM klist:
	Ticket file:    /tmp/tkt640
	Principal:      orjanr@cs.UiT.No

	  Issued           Expires          Principal
	Aug 26 15:00:39  Aug 26 23:00:39  krbtgt.cs.UiT.No@cs.UiT.No

    LISTING OF /kerberos/kerberos.log
	26-Aug-92 14:48:37 Initial ticket request Host: 129.242.16.40 User: "orjanr" ""
	26-Aug-92 14:48:37 Initial ticket request Host: 129.242.16.40 User: "orjanr" "admin"
	26-Aug-92 14:48:40 Initial ticket request Host: 129.242.16.40 User: "orjanr" "admin"
	26-Aug-92 14:48:40 INITIAL request from orjanr.admin for changepw.kerberos

   I have also tried with first getting an admin instance ticket by using
   "ksrvtgt orjanr admin" which gives me the following list from klist:

	Ticket file:    /tmp/tkt640
	Principal:      orjanr.admin@cs.UiT.No

	  Issued           Expires          Principal
	Aug 26 15:02:46  Aug 26 15:07:46  krbtgt.cs.UiT.No@cs.UiT.No

   This doesn't change the error message from kadmin.

3) I also had another errormessage from kadmin saying that "principal so and so
   does not exist". This happened even if the principal in question was entered
   in the database and the access files. When this occured I noticed in the
   database log an message saying: UNKNOWN: "changepw" "kerberos", which led me
   to add an principal "changepw" with instance "kerberos" to the database. 
   (Line 1 in the database dump above). 
   
   Have I made a configuration error or what ?
   What is this changepw thing ? (Can't find it in the documentation).
   Any ideas of what can be wrong ? (Any ideas are welcome!!!!)

4) Anyway: Is there more documentation on operation of the system. How to do configuration,
   and how it is supposed to work. Specially documentation on kadmin/kadmind and the rest of
   the admin software.


 Any ideas are welcome, I have used all mine the couple of last days...

 Reply by email or post to the group.

 Thanks in advance
