When you run kadmin.local and list the principals in your database (getprincs), does kws/admin appear? "kws/admin" was given in the documentation as an EXAMPLE, its not automatically put in the DB. The reader is supposed to create an admin principal for themselves. Example - if your normal user principal is "tyson", you should create a principal called "tyson/admin" for administrative duties. -Wyllys > > I am vrey baffeled by this error.
