Hello,

I have been trying to login without having to give a password after I 
kinit. I can now login without passwords but I have to kinit on each box 
before it will work. Here is what I am doing:


1 box is the KDC
1 box is a remote host on same network

I built my kdc and configured my ssh daemon to use kerberos on both 
computers. I created a principal for my username and the two hosts that 
I am testing between. I copied the krb5.keytab file to my remote host 
and setup the krb5.conf file on the remote host. I have my .k5login file 
in my users home directory and I have checked all the paths and verified 
all the files in my kdc.conf and my krb5.conf file.

Now, to test, I first do a 'kdestroy' then I kinit. After this is done I 
can ssh from my KDC to my remote host and I am not asked to enter my 
password. But, if I try to ssh back to the KDC from the remote host I 
just logged into, it will ask me for a password. I can stop this 
behavior if I 'kinit' on the remote host. Then for the life of the 
ticket I can ssh back and forth between the two boxes without being 
asked to enter a password.

I would like to be able to 'kinit' one time and not have to do it on 
each and every host. So, I must have screwed up somewhere or didn't 
understand what I was reading.

Can anyone see my mistake or is there more information that someone 
would need to help me?

Thanks for any help,

Jon
