The more I try to get Kerberos to work and the more problems I encounter the
more I become convinced I am missing documentation. Where do I find detailed
information on the kdb5_edit subcommands? The man page basically tells what
subcommands are legal but there is no description of what the parameters
are, when and why to use each subcommand, etc. It seems like the documentation
I have assumes the reader has a significant amount of pre-requisite knowledge.
I am having all kinds of problems which appear to be very basic setup issues
but I cannot find any FAQ or other documentation on operation. For example,
I cannot use kadmin or kpasswd because, according to the error message, the
server or client cannot be found in the database. Yet there is nothing in
the documentation that talks about anything other than users and the example
service in the database. I have been struggling with this for weeks and need
help badly. Thanks.
