Error Creating Kerberos databases

[Anthony McGovern]

Thank you SO much That worked a treat! i have the 5 files in my
/krb5/var/krb5kdc folder 

I guess i just have to start following the install guide/manual again
and see where to go next. 

You've saved my office from another 2 weeks of my coffee driven rants at
kerberos. My colleges wish to thank you :o) 

Thanks again 
Anthony McGovern
