I'm attempting to get the KDC up & running on an ALPHA workstation running OSF1 (Tru64 UNIX 5.1). Built the source (1.2.2) with the standard configuration options, all appears well.
Attempts at starting krb5kdc result in 'cannot initialize realm ....' error. log file shows the error "Cannot find/read stored master key.." So I add the '-m' option to the command line. Now the error is 'no such file or directory - while setting database name to..'... ok, can't find the database (so what exactly are the .conf files for ??) I add the -d option to the command line, passing the database name path. Now the error is 'Message size is incompatible with encryption type..' Appears I need a little magic to get the KDC running. I'm following the INSTALL directions... my krb.conf file is located in /etc and my kdc.conf file is located in /usr/local/var/krb5kdc. Database & keytab file generated without any errors... Any ideas on what could be wrong? TIA - Ralph Young
