So just set up a ptserver along with your fileserver on your Linuxbox. So you will have the fileserverprocesses, the vlserver and the ptserver configured on that machine. Then you configure your cell to have both DB servers. They will sync. Then you take away the old one and unconfigure that. > The new server won't use Kerberos5.

Pleeeeeeezzzzzeeee migrate to kerberos(5) instead of making yourself unhappy with a service that is only there for backwards compatibility. You can set up a KDC quite easily (for example a Heimdal KDC) and it can IMPORT your ka database (passwords and all). Or use a Windows AD that you probably have running somewhere. > Does anybody know where I can find a HowTo or something like that?
