kinit problem

[scotty adams]

hi Jeffrey,

 Thanks for your reply i will go over the doc but i got one question.
Why am i getting the following error prompt?
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm while getting
 initial credentials

 I never faced such an error before formatting the machine

 Can you please give me some clues?

 Thanks.

I suggest you read the installation guide, user guide, and admin guide
from the distribution:

  http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.6/#documentation

What the kdb5_util create command does is create a Kerberos Database for
the purpose of establishing a new Kerberos realm   This database is the
back-end for the Key Distribution Center.  This is the Kerberos service
that authenticates users and issues tickets for accessing services.  

A credential cache is not located on the KDC.  A credential cache is
located on the client machine and is created only after a user performs
an initial authentication against the KDC and receives back a Ticket
Granting Ticket.
