I accidentally discovered this while trying to install a srvtab on my 9.0
SparcClassic (the OpenAFS hack was a huge success)...
Solaris 8 includes a bunch of Kerberos binaries in /usr/bin, while we have
ours split between /usr/athena/bin (the more common ones) and /usr/athena/etc
(the less frequently used ones). Matters are complicated because in the
default path, /usr/athena/bin comes before /usr/bin, which comes before
/usr/athena/etc. ktutil, used by anyone installing a srvtab, is in
/usr/athena/etc and /usr/bin, so the /usr/bin one is selected by default.
Unfortunately, the Sun binaries expect krb5.conf to be in /etc/krb5/krb5.conf
rather than /etc/krb5.conf, which is what we use, so it errors out.
The three suggestions I have for fixing this (I'm not really sure which is
best, but I guess I'd lean towards the second, and I think the third might
have undesirable side-effects) are:
1) Blow away /usr/bin/ktutil (and possibly the other Sun Kerberos binaries)
or
2) Move our ktutil from /usr/athena/etc to /usr/athena/bin
or
3) Change the ordering of the default path.
As far as I could tell on a cursory glance, the other Kerberos binaries we
have in /usr/athena/etc don't conflict with anything Sun provides in the
default install.
