Fwd: Problem with kerberos 5 binaries - No solution yet

[Rahul Raman]

Hi,

I sent this email to kerberos at mit.edu immediately after I requested 
subscription to this list. So I am sending this email once again just in 
case the earlier version did not reach this list. I have still not fixed 
this problem.

Additional steps since my previous email:

Instead of using the binaries directly, I compiled the source (obtained 
from MIT kerberos distribution) and created the binaries in the appropriate 
directories. I still received the same error and the machine did not accept 
Kerberos 5 connections.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions to resolve this issue


Thanks

Rahul Raman
