If you have seen this post recently, I apologize for reposting -

I have Kerberos V5 Beta 4 installed on a Solaris box.  I can use kinit
and klist with no problems but as soon as I try to do a kadmin or
kpasswd command, I get the following:

   % kadmin
   Password for cdp/admin@NJIT.EDU: 
    
   Unable to Get Initial Credentials : Server not found in Kerberos database!
   
   % kpasswd
   Old password for cdp@NJIT.EDU: 
 
   Unable to Get Initial Credentials : Server not found in Kerberos database
   -1765328377
 
   Protocol Failure - Password NOT changed

The syslog entry reads:

   krb5kdc[312]: AS_REQ: Server not found in Kerberos database while processing
   request from cdp/admin@NJIT.EDU fo

There are the "default" (K/M and krbtgt) entries in the database (by kdb5_edit)
and a cdp and cdp/admin.  ksu works as it should but no go on kpasswd -

Any ideas on what the problem is (how do I get the server into the database) ?  
Is there a book or doc that anyone would recommend ?

Thank you -
