AW: Kerberos and Solaris 8

[Baernreuther Rainer]

Hi Wyllys,

I checked the configuration file /etc/krb5/krb5.conf and the realms entry
seems to be correct. I also changed the /etc/hosts file so that the fully
qualified name of the local system is listed first but the error still
occurs. Could it be that there something wrong with my GSS-API installation?
