Kinit/kadmin does not work

[Tadoori (EXT), Vilas]

Ok ... i have rectified the issue.
I do not maintain an .profile and usually do a bash on my solaris box.
It was an elementary mistake that caused this problem
earlier I have downloaded the kerberos distribution file
krb5-1.6.3.tar.gz
Later I built the same it then created the following dir structure
/usr/local
all the kerberos biniares are in bin and sbin respectively.
When i exited out o bash on firday i lost my path to these binaries, in
the hurry i have done the following to map the same back to my path
 
export $PATH:/usr/local/sbin and bin
this made the earlier binaries take into effect as my path was looking
like
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
 
I realized it and set that straight and everything is normal...
 
 
I other thing that i want to raise is why is that the kerberos binaries
would not work with the x86 solaris intel based installation...

Dear All,
 
It is really strange that the kinit does not work for me.
I am pretty confident about my krb5.conf and kdc.conf files.
They are good on the linux suse but when I have acutally started working
over the weekend ...it gives me this message as below for the kinit(on
solaris)
 
bash-3.00# kinit
kinit(v5): Cannot find KDC for requested realm while getting initial
credentials
 
The kadmin also is acting strange
 
bash-3.00# kadmin -p x_tadoor
Authenticating as principal x_tadoor with password.
Password for x_tadoor at XXXXXXXXX *
kadmin: Communication failure with server while initializing kadmin
interface

* intentionally crossed the realm
 
 
This is giving problems on the SunOS x 86 architecture.
 
bash-3.00# uname -a
SunOS hysuntcsso 5.10 Generic_118855-33 i86pc i386 i86pc

This is really frustrating....any help will be greatly appreciated.

Vilas
