Hello,
I am trying to run the gss-server example that comes with the Kerberos 5b5
distribution as a user other then root and am having problems. It runs fine
when the server is running as root (it doesn't matter who runs the client), but
when I try to run it as any other user, I get the following error message when
it calls the gss_accept_sec_context() function.
GSS-API error accepting context: Miscellaneous failure
GSS-API error accepting context: No error
Doesn't reveal much. I have the /etc/v5srvtab's permissions set to 444 (which
I don't want to do). Is there a way to specific that the gss-server program
should use a different srvtab file then the system wide (I don't want all the
service that run on a system to need to trust each other).
Any ideas?
