Can someone give me pointers as to what needs to be done in order to do
the following things:
1
1) Translate an existing passwor database (straight Unix passwd file) into
a kerberos principal so that we can put the passwords straight into the
kdc without having to distribute new passwords.
2) Set up a slave server. I figured out how to make kprop talk to kpropd,
but I'm a little confused as to what principals need to be created in
order for the master server to be able to talk with the slave servers. I
get kpropd started on the slave, then run kprop on the master, but it
gives me a "kerberos: unknown principal" message. What principal is
needed for this?
3) How does one handle something like the operator account which does
incremental backups across the network in the middle of the night in
unattended mode? There is no one to respond to a password prompt.
4) What is the "standard mode" for installing krb4 with respect to the
rlogin.ucb, rsh.ucb, etc.? By this, I mean to most people remove the ucb
versions and require a kerberized session? Do you turn off the rlogind,
rshd, etc. ports? Do you modify the krb logins not to even run the ucb
versions upon failure?
Suggestions and/or pointers to more papers would be greatly appreciated.
