Hi !

I am trying to hook up my PC to Athena. Telnet and finger are working fine, so I
guess my connection is OK. The problem I have is that when I run the kinit
command, it tells me:

Cygnus Support (pmas)
Kerberos Initialization for "pacosta"
Kinit: Can't send request (send_to_kdc)

My host name is "pmas" and my username is (obviously :-)) "pacosta"

I've read the Inessential Linux on Athena document, and (I think :-)) followed
its instructions, that is:
* I installed the kerberos packaget.
* I appended the service.add file to the /etc/service file.
* I made sure that the /etc/service was world readable.
* I rebooted the machine (just in case :-))
* I logged in as pacosta (I have the same UID than in Athena).
* I run the kinit command and it gave me the above error message.

Now, I couldn't run the "gettime -s kerberos" command because I didn't found it
in any package. I know it is in the /etc/athena directory in Athena, but how can
I run it before I am logged in (after each reboot as the document says) if I am
not logged in ???

Also, I saw that there was a linux-afs kernel. Can you tell me what it does ? In
what stage of development is it ?

I hope that you can help me. Thank you in advance.

Pablo
