Hi,
I'm still struggling with installing version 5 beta 5 with Solaris 2.4. I've
read all available write-ups and haven't found this problem discussed. I think
I've narrowed my problem down to a format problem with the krb5.conf file or a
software bug related to it.
Here's what I've discovered. It seems when I use the current format of the
krb5.conf file including the section with [domain_realm] to test the Kerberized
rsh command, I get the error:
Couldn't authenticate to server: Software caused connection abort
If I do the same rsh command explicitly stating the realm name with the -k
option, the following error occurs:
No profile file open
When I remove the [domain_realm] section from krb5.conf and again test the
same command, I get the error:
Server not found in Kerberos database
Finally, executing the same command with the -k option and no [domain_realm]
section in krb5.conf, the rsh command works fine. This leads me to believe
that there may be a bug related to the krb5.conf file since I've pirated a few
krb5.conf files that seem to work just fine with Sun OS. Does anyone know of a
related problem/patch? Also, I'm new at this so I'm not sure which of the
available patches to apply since there seems to be no documentation associated
with each patch.
Thanks so much for any help - Judy
