     After spending a day banging my head on this, I'm crying "Uncle."  I=
 just
hope the problem isn't something stupid on my part.  :-)

     I have been trying to get kadmin5 to work.  I have set up a server o=
n a=20
Linux box running 1.3.95.  Everything compiled up and installed just fine=
.  I=20
also have a HP 9000/715 running HPUX 10.01.  I have compiled Kerberos 5Be=
ta6 on
both machines.

     I can do a kinit on the HP with success.  I can also do a klist with=
=20
success.  What I can't do, is run kadmin5 on either the HP *or* the Linux=
 box.
When I try, I get:

cheops:/h/e/krb5-beta6/src: kadmin5
kadmin5:  ldb
Enter password for ctrown/admin@NET.CSUCHICO.EDU:=20
kadmin5: Unknown code dvNj 80 - (ldb) protocol command INQUIRE-PRINCIPAL =

Memory fault(coredump)

     I get the same basic mess on both machines.  Error messages are fine=
.  I
like those, but coredumps??  Should never happen.  I looked in syslog on =
the=20
server machine(Linux) and saw:

Jun 27 15:37:45 ickis syslog: Try again - 19177: cannot open database

     everytime I tried to run kadmin5.  I traced this down to where kadmi=
n5d
tries to open the database(Duh!).  This message didn't tell me much, so I=
 added
a line to print out the value of what key_open_db() was returning.  Turns=
 out
that key_open_db() was returning 11.  I was unable to track this down to =
any=20
string in the header files.

     I have tried recompiling the entire tree to no avail.

     I did notice that unless I start kadmin5d before I start krb5kdc I g=
et:

ickis:/usr/local/krb5/sbin# ./kadmind5 -n
kadmind5: cannot initialize database (Try again).
kadmind5: cannot initialize key and database.

     Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?  Thanks for your =
time.
