Hi, Everybody: 

I am having difficulty getting the BSD r commands and "kadmin" working 
under krb5-beta2. The error messages are as follows: 

1. Kadmin:

Command (add, cpw, del, inq, mod, addrnd, cpwrnd, addv4, cpwv4, q): add

Name of Principal to be Added: newprincipal
Principal Already Exists!



Command (add, cpw, del, inq, mod, addrnd, cpwrnd, addv4, cpwv4, q): del

Name of Principal to be Deleted: oldprincipal
Principal Does NOT Exist!

This error persists regardless of whether the newprincipal and 
old principal actually exist or not. I have krb5kdc and kadmind both 
running. 

2. BSD RCMDS: 

I added a principal "host/<host>" to the Krb5 database and extracted a
srvtab by using "ext <host> host" in kdb5_edit. and placed it in 
/etc/srvtab. Now, when I use the command "rlogin <host>", I got the 
following error message.

rlogin: kcmd to host <host> failed - Not enough memory
trying normal rlogin (/usr/ucb/rlogin)

After some code hacking, It looks like the krb5_read and krb5_write
is not functioning properly. I suspect this has something to do with 
the srvtab file: its proper extraction and location. But cannot find
any clue to it yet. Another possibility is that I am missing some 
steps in setting up the applications.

Could some of our knowledgeable netters providing some comments on the 
above mentioned problems? Thanks in advance!
