Hi

(@Russ: This is partially also, what I wrote you already in private).

It seems that Debians Kerberos have some problems with using keytabs,
at least with some remote KDCs.

What I do is always about this.
1) Creating a keytab with:
$ ktutil 
ktutil:  add_entry -password -p [email protected] -k 1 -e arcfour-hmac-md5
Password for [email protected]: 
ktutil:  wkt keytab
ktutil:  q
$ 

2) Trying it out with:
$ kinit -k -t keytab [email protected]

The password is always from the clipboard and correct as it works when I
manually use kinit.


When doing this under Scientific Linux 6, which has KRB 1.9, it just works
as expected and I get my tgt.

Under sid I get:
kinit: Generic preauthentication failure while getting initial credentials
Tried it of course with different algos, too, including aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96
and des3-cbc-sha1.

Under squeeze I get:
kinit: Key table entry not found while getting initial credentials


Interestingly, when using the realm/KDC of our local university, it works in
Debian, too.
According too the CERN support guys, they may be using ActiveDirectory.


Could this be an error in either Debian itself or rather some upstream issue?


Thanks,
Chris.
