If I remove auth_to_local_names altogether it still works withthe .k5login in place.

Canyou please explain the need for this? I did notice that using .k5loginthe sudo command breaks and does not accept the kerb password. Isthere a way around this? I have the pam_krb5 listed in all 4 PAMstacks but still does not accept ker password for sudo.> Also duplicate any joe entries with joejohnson entries in/etc/groups> and/or netgroups.>> If using ldap you can add a Uid=joejohnson attrribute to the joe account.> and add joejohnson to any groups and/or netgroups.>>>>> What is the suggested method here for mapping principals with unlike>> local account names using both RHEL and Debian pam_krb?

Even on a debian box I am unable to useauth_to_local_names.. Is there a specific section I am supposed to putthis auth_to_local_names entry? I am specifying it in the [REALM]section as instructed by the krb5.conf man page.
