The test suite is rather sensitive to the network configuration, which is somewhat unfortunate. You should make such changes so that your computer reverse-resolves its IP address to what your computer thinks its hostname is; this is usually easiest done by editing /etc/hosts. For example, I had to edit this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain hysteresis.mit.edu hysteresis to read: 127.0.0.1 prolepsis.mit.edu localhost localhost.my.domain prolepsis hysteresis.mit.edu hysteresis and change my computer's hostname from hysteresis.mit.edu to prolepsis.mit.edu in order to let all of the tests run. (hysteresis is a CNAME for prolepsis, and that redirection is followed by some of the name resolution routines used in some of the tests) Hope this helps, Ben Kaduk ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
