Solaris pam_krb5 uses root/<instance>@<REALM>

[Frederico S. Munoz]

Hello all,

I'm deploying a Kerberos V Realm in a mixed Unix environment (HP-UX,
Solaris, GNU/Linux and AIX). By now I have most things sorted out and
both Kerberos and LDAP are functioning quite well.

I have this small problem though: all machines, when using pam_krb5, try
to authenticate a "root" user using root@<REALM>, except Solaris.
Solaris, only with the root login, tries to auth root/<host>@<REALM>.

In the end I will probably not even use a generic root principal, so
it's not that big a problem. I would however like to konw if someone
else had this behaviour and was able to change it.

Best Regards,
