- I have just installed kerberos, and I am confused about something.
- I have the program kinit in /usr/athena/bin/kinit, and there also
- seems to be a copy in /usr/athena/kinit.
-
- The copy in /usr/athena/kinit does not seem to be accessing the right
- database. I always get a password incorrect error when I shouldn't.
-
- When I use /usr/athena/bin/kinit, the wierd thing is that it works for
- a while, and then after a while, it says:
-
- [82] barnone:/usr/athena> kinit
- Rubin (barnone.citi.umich.edu)
- Kerberos Initialization
- Kerberos name: dude
- kinit: Retry count exceeded (send_to_kdc)
-
-
- Has anyone experienced this before?
-
-
- I guess my questions are: Do I execute the programs from the
- [USER] (in my case /usr/athena) directory as described in the
- operation notes, or from the /usr/athena/bin directory? What
- are the differences, and why are they both there? How come
- sometimes kinit works, and then all of a sudden, I get the above
- error? Has anyone else encountered these problems?
