Can someone give me step by step instructions on setting up Kerberos5 Beta5
to use the kpasswd command? The documentation doesn't really say for sure
if it actually works yet or not.

I've built and installed the server (Sparc2/Soalris 2.4), built a database,
etc. The basic authentication stuff works, as it is used for PPP logins
from a Xyplex terminal server. However, I'd like users to be able to change
their own passwords. I started admind5, created a /etc/krb5_adm.acl file
that looks like this:

	root/*@EMPNET.COM	aw
	*					o

then tried to run kpasswd. The program prompts for an old password then says:

	Unable to Get Initial Credentials : Server not found in Kerberos database -1765328377

So what am I missing? Do I need to add "kpasswd" or "passwd" as an entry in
the database and dump a /etc/v5srvtab file? If so, what's form does the
entry take? [I tried "passwd".]

Pardon my ignorance if this is a FAQ, but I'm new to kerberos and this
newsgroup; and I did read the FAQ.
