Again, another problem. When I do rkinit, it just sits there:
e.g.
rkinit netspace -l bperkins -k NETSPACE.ORG
prompts me for my password, And the following shows up in the kerberos log:
19-Oct-95 13:06:50 Initial ticket request Host: 128.148.19.32 User:
"bperkins" ""
19-Oct-95 13:06:56 APPL Request bperkins.@NETSPACE.ORG on 128.148.19.32
for rcmd.netspace
Then nothing seems to happen on my machine.
However on Netspace the message:
Oct 19 13:06:27 netspace syslog: rkinitd: read: expected to receive only
139 bytes; received 250
shows up repetedly, every second or so.
This reminded me of a bug that was in the Linux Kernel ICMP code that
prevented bsd timed from working, but the message seems to be coming from
the code in the rkinit lib.
Should I be considering using Kerberos V?
We run our own server out of convienience (to create our own service
tickets) and curiosity (for the heck of it).
The brown network uses IV exclusively, but if the code works better under
linux, I'd give it serious thought. I just need to have compatability
to allow us to use some simple kerberised services at Brown, and to allow
old KerbIV clients (e.g. NCSA telnet) to connect.
Is cross realm authentication more sophisticated under V?
