Problems with cross-realm authentication

[Nordstr�m Mikael]

Hi,

We have set up a cell where we run 3.5 on servers and clients.
So far all the machines are Suns running Solaris 2.6

In our environment we have a need for cross-realm authentication,
so we have implemented kth-krb. The main realm is called ERICSSON.SE
and the local realm is called RESEARCH.ERICSSON.SE. The afs cell is
called research.ericsson.se.

I have understood that for a user to have permissions if he got
his token thru ERICSSON.SE, he needs to have a user name like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is that when I try to create such
a user with 'pts', I'm not allowed to choose a user ID. The
error message I get is: pts: argument illegal or out of range.

If I create the user without choosing the ID, the user is created
but he still doesn't have any permissions since his ID is different
than the one in kerberos (I suppose...)

Has anyone seen this and/or have any clues as how to solve the
problem.

Thanks,
/Mikael
