applications working, with the exception of passwd..

when I try to do a password change, passwd gives me the message

"passwd: couldn't read verification string (aborted)"

my /var/log/messages file gets a message that looks like:

"Sep 29 18:25:12 wizard kpasswdd[435]: krb_recvauth: Can't decode authenticator"

I am almost 100% certain that this is a configuration problem, but since I have
little accurate configuration documentation, it's rather hard to tell...

Anybody know what the problem is off the top of their head? Have I missed adding
some other undocumented principal?

Any help would be welcome. Post it, or send to rbp@alien.com

Rob
