I am trying to make the K4-based login program that comes with the K5
distribution work as the main login program. What I am having trouble
with, however, is setting up the K4 srvtab correctly so that it will
correctly fetch the root password. (I assume that is the problem,
anyway) I have modified the program so that it will accept either a
local password in /etc/passwd, or a Kerberos password.
I have confirmed that it is not a problem with it incorrectly seeing
the console as a non-secure terminal, because if I put a root pw in
/etc/passwd, it will come up ok.
I got, some time ago, a modification to kdb5_edit which was supposed
to correct some problem in creating v4 srvtabs. I still can't figure
out what is wrong. What I would like to know is this:
Did I have to effect that modification to kdb5_edit?
What do I call the srvtab for the system?
(Like the host/whatever.host.name the K5 stuff)
Should I create it as a V4 principal, or as a V5?
Most, most grateful for anyone who can offer any assistance.
