On my case that command does not work for some reason. 9I mean it
prompts for a password but does not read it.Then it disconnects.
Probably I'm not doing something right. I think the problem is I'm not
running kadmind5 daemon on the Linux machine,but when I'm trying to
I'getting the following errors:

penelope:/krb5/bin# kadmind5
kadmind5: cannot get service entry for changepw (Unknown error).
kadmind5[8788]: Kerberos V5 administrative server starting.
kadmind5[8788]: kadmind5: Bad file number - dispatch error.
kadmind5: Bad file number - dispatch error.
Segmentation fault

Any ideas?...
