newbie: error getting credentials: Server not found in Kerberosdatabase

[Amir Saad]

this error means a missing principal,
try to open the /var/log/krb5kdc.log and check which principal is missing,  simply add it and it will work.
thanks

Hi!

I never found the time to deal intensively with kerberos so please
indulge me if this is ought to be a stupid question:

kinit works. krsh does not:

krsh server
error getting credentials: Server not found in Kerberos database
trying normal rlogin (/usr/bin/rlogin)


So, this is what I did so far:

server:

/etc/krb5.conf:
[libdefaults]
        default_realm = LOCALDOMAIN

[realms]
        LOCALDOMAIN = {
                kdc = server.localdomain:88
                admin_server = server.localdomain:750
        }

[domain_realm]
        .localdomain = LOCALDOMAIN
        localdomain = LOCALDOMAIN

[logging]
    kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
    admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
    default = FILE:/var/log/krb5lib.log

/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.2     server server.localdomain

real hostname is actually *not* "server"!

kadmin.local:
addprinc foo


client:

 /etc/krb5.conf
[libdefaults]
        ticket_lifetime = 600
        default_realm = LOCALDOMAIN
        default_tkt_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc
        default_tgs_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1 des-cbc-crc

[realms]
        LOCALDOMAIN = {
        kdc = server.localdomain:88
        admin_server = server.localdomain:750
        }

[domain_realm]
        .localdomain = LOCALDOMAIN
        localdomain = LOCALDOMAIN

[kdc]
        profile = /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf

[logging]
        kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
        admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
        default = FILE:/var/log/krb5lib.log

$ kinit foo
$ krsh server
error getting credentials: Server not found in Kerberos database
trying normal rlogin (/usr/bin/rlogin)


Thanks a lot
