Hi, there,
I compiled Kerberos V5.4 under SunOS 4.1.3, and successfully created
the principal database with kdb5_crate, stash the password with kdb5_stash,
used kdb5_edit to add principals, and finally started the deamons krb5kdc and
kadmind. BUT I encountered a strange problem with kinit when I tried to use
it to verify principals.
If I issue the kinit without the -c option (to specify the credentials
cache name), it gives me an error as "kinit: Invalid argument when initializing
cache". But if I specify the -c option with a cache file name into the user's
home directory, it all works fine. So I tried to supply -c with a cache name
like /tmp/tkt003, then it fails again with the same error message. Therefore
I am suspecting that using the default cache file name as /tmp/tkt.. caused
kinit to fail. Is this supposed to be this way in V5 or is this a bug with
kinit?
Could someone give me some advice on this problem! I'd really
appreciate your help.
Thanks.
