I am trying to convert a Kerberos V4 principal database to a V5 database
using the kdb5_convert utility using the following command:
./kdb5_convert -v -d /tmp/principal -f /krb5/k4data

/krb5/k4data contains the output of the "kdb_util dump" command executed
on the Kerberos V4 machine.

I keep getting the error messages:

translating mreddy@JPMORGAN.COM...
kdb5_convert: Database format error while translating entries to the database


If anybody has any clues, I would greatly appreciate it.

The V4 platform is DEC Ultrix/Athena. The V5 platform is Sparc/Solaris 2.4 
running MIT Kerberos V5 beta 5.
