I was doing some Google searches the other day for a similar project
and found a commercial alternative that looks appealing. It looks like
they have an agent for Solaris 8/9/10 that sets up the Kerberos
environment for you fairly painlessly. Then there's some config work on
the server. The doc they posted here seems pretty straightforward. I
talked to one of their sales people and the appealing part was that
there are no end-user licensing fees, you just license the server-based
agent. If it works as advertised it looks like I'd burn a lot more
client fees trying to build (and test; that's eating up the time)
something homegrown than just using this. I keep running across posts
like yours with various issues and I'm beginning to think this is the
way to go. I found it here:
