Hello, folks,
We recently changed the name of the machine our kerberos server runs on
from jefferson to borg. The name jefferson was immediately given to a new
(faster) machine -- it's our main mail server.
However, when we changed the old jefferson to 'borg', we made no changes to the
kerberos server configuration, and now we're unable to perform administrative
functions, such as adding new users. All the kerberos clients work because
we simply pointed them at the new ip address we assigned to borg, but it *seems*
that the kadmin program on borg still thinks it should authenticate to
jefferson, which is now the new machine and isn't running a server.
I'm not very familar with kerberos yet! I can take borg offline and rename it
to jefferson, but even then, how would I go about telling kerberos to
authenticate to borg in the future, esp. since at the time, borg wouldn't
exist (remember, I would have just renamed it back to jefferson). Would
it let me change the configuration to point it towards a machine that
doesn't exist? What commands would I use to change the configuration?
Alternatively, is there a configuration file somewhere that I can just
edit to tell the server where to authenticate to? I haven't been able to
find one in any of the directories.
FYI, this is MIT kerberos IV running on a SunOS 4.1.3 sparc 2. We're
trying to get a new server running on the new jefferson, a Solaris 2.5.1
box, but we can't get it to compile properly. And I have nearly a hundred
students and administrators waiting to receive their accounts, which can't
happen until I get them added to the kerberos database! HELP!?!?!?
Any information or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Trever Furnish,
