I've recently compiled and installed krb5b3 on a sparc10 4.1.3 system.
The server daemons are running properly:
root 9272 0.0 0.0 120 0 p2 IW 10:22 0:00 /krb5/sbin/krb5kdc
root 9273 0.0 0.0 104 0 p2 IW 10:22 0:00 /krb5/sbin/kadmind
kinit works file. klist verifies the kinit. However, when I try
running kpasswd I get the following error message:
Old password for kxaghai@MYREALM:
Unable to Get Initial Credentials : Server not found in Kerberos database -1765328377
Protocol Failure - Password NOT changed
Any ideas?
Have you added the principal "kadmin/<REALM>@<REALM>" ? This principal needs
to be present for kadmind to do anything. You can just add it with a random
key, since no human will ever need to type it.

Since I was forced to write it by the alien parasite which attached itself to
my brain stem during my recent visit to an isolated area of Northern Arizona,
it could hardly be construed that this message would reflect either the
opinions or policies of my employer.
