pam_krb5 in RHEL4 no longer uses the Kerberos ticket file directly to

Makes sense - thanks!


The reason why using the new principal (afs/[EMAIL PROTECTED])
works and the old one ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) doesn't is a bug in pam_krb5.

pam_krb5 only uses the instance-less principal when it can figure out the
realm name properly.

Due to a bug, it can't figure out the realm name properly if you have more
than 1 AFS server that serves /afs/econ.duke.edu.

So I'm guessing that the underlying problem was that you had 2 AFS
servers. I have a fixed version of pam_krb5 that will work properly in
this case. At some point I will get the patches to Red Hat.

Hi Chris, Thanks for all the work in maintaining the pam_krb5 program, and a huge thanks for helping me to get this working here (and the others both on and off-list).

        If I leave things as they are (using the afs/[EMAIL PROTECTED])
will I be okay?  Or should I go back to just the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and wait for the updated version of pam_krb5?

Thanks,

-Dj
