hi all, fairly new to kerberos here. i've got the book o'reilly kerberos the definitive gude and followed the procedure in chapter 4 and have a successful master kdc and it's working. i'm trying to create my first slave kdc, and the book gets a little less detailed (pg63). "log into each kdc, connect to kadmin, create a host principal for the machine, and extract the new key into the hosts' keytab."
well, i run (fedora core 4) the /usr/kerberos/sbin/kadmin on the slave and i get: kadmin: Missing parameters in krb5.conf required for kadmin client while initializing kadmin interface. it's the same /etc/krb5.conf file that's on my master kdc, and that seems to work. the only thing i've done on the slave kdc (besides install the rpms) is copy the /etc/krb5.conf and modify the /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kpropd.acl. i did not go through the procedure to create the realm, etc (i don't think that's necessary). if i look in /var/log/kadmin.log i get two entries for seeding random number generator and two errors "no such file or directory while initializing, aborting" i've opened ports udp/tcp 88, 749, and 464 on the master kdc. i have dns mapping the kdc information (as on page 79). any help to start getting in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated - thanks! ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
