Hello ml,

i have just installed Kerberos on a Debian (Sarge) System.

I configured pam to allow kerberos login.

Every non-root user can successfully login and get a kerberos ticket.

But the root-user cannot login.

When i try to login as root on a client-machine the login works
(password get verified by the kerberos-server) and i get a kerberos
ticket.

Both machines have the same pam configuration and version. (both Debian Sarge).

Anyone any ideas?


p.s. in the log messages the following appears:
