Does the account that you are trying to ftp into on the
server side have a valid shell?  is that shell listed in /etc/shells?
Is ftpd open in the iptables on the server side, and in /etc/hosts.allow,
hosts.deny?

Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting to a SLF5 kerberized ftpd from an SLF5 kerberized ftp client.

On the server, I'm using:
rpm -qf /usr/kerberos/sbin/ftpd
krb5-workstation-1.6.1-31.el5_3.3.x86_64

On the client, I'm using:
rpm -qf rpm -qf /usr/kerberos/bin/ftp
krb5-workstation-1.6.1-31.el5_3.3.x86_64


On the client side, I get:
...
GSSAPI error major: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information
GSSAPI error minor: Permission denied
GSSAPI error: acquiring credentials
GSSAPI ADAT failed
GSSAPI authentication failed
...


and on the server side, in /var/log/messages, I get:
...
  ftpd[25305]: gssapi error acquiring credentials
...

I do have a valid ticket! and I can connect to another SLF5 node, so it seems to be a server issue.

I've tried looking at the kdc logs on fnalu...
I use to be able to "tail -f" the log in the tmp directory but now I can just see a log file that seems to be several hours old. In that log file, however, I do see an "ISSUE:" line for my server, so it would appear that I do have a valid ftp principal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ron
