Solaris pam-krb5 client and MIT krb5 KDC on Linux (Eliot Lebsack)

[Henry B. Hotz]

1) Can the user (once logged in) do a kinit?  (If not check krb5.conf  
permissions, and contents.)

2) Can the user (once kinit'ed) get a host service ticket?  (Try  
telnet'ing to yourself at the external network address.  I think that  
will do it.  If not you need a second machine.)

3) Does the local keytab work?  (Try kinit -k as root.  klist should  
show you are kinit'ed as host/your.machine at YOUR.REALM.)

4) Does the host service ticket agree with the one in the local  
/etc/krb5/krb5.keytab?  (Not sure exactly how to check this.  The  
Solaris ktutil doesn't show much info.  Presumably if both 2 and 3 work  
it should be OK, but they might be different kvno's.)

Don't know if Sol 8 is completely like Sol 9, but the pam modules need  
the host principal to work for full functionality on 9.

Isn't there a debug option for the pam modules?
