kinit problem

[scotty adams]

Hi Jeffrey,

After following some guide lines i got stuck with the following error:
kadmin: Communication failure with server while initializing kadmin interface

I searched for the error and it said the following:


  Communication failure with server while initializing kadmin interface 
  
    Cause:  The host that was entered for the admin server, also called the master KDC, did not have the kadmind daemon running.
  Solution:  Make sure that you specified the correct host name for the master KDC. If you specified the correct host name, make sure that kadmind is running on the master KDC that you specified.
upon starting the kadmind daemon, i got the following:
bash-2.05# ./kadmind start
Bus Error (core dumped)

Pls advise me how to fix that

Thanks,
Scotty

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.
