Anyone know why exactly I'm getting this problem?
In short, I have a KDC set up on Linux 2.4.7, and I've configured a
client's /bin/login to hit the KDC for authentication via pam_krb5.so.
Users can log in just fine, but they can't seem to change their password
via kpasswd. It goes something like this:
[ kelledin at Traveller ~ ] # kpasswd
Password for kelledin at SKARPSEY.ATTBI.COM:
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
Authentication error: Failed reading application request
The client is running Linux 2.4.17. Both client and KDC are running krb5
v1.2.3. The server's logs record issuing a ticket for kadmin/changepw and
that's it. Does anyone have a clue as to what's happening?
