Need help setting up kerberos for the first time

[Edward Murrell]

There's a bunch of things there that are a bit messed up.

Firstly, if you aren't sure what the hostname is, run;
hostname -s

If this tells you it's 'localhost', you should edit the /etc/hostname to
be something more descriptive (and the same as whatever you pick for
myserverhostname below) and then run hostname -f /etc/hostname

Also, this bit...

...should be something like;

[realms]
         USSTORAGE.COM = {
                 admin_server = myserverhostname.usdstorage.com
                 kdc = myserverhostname.usdstorage.com
         }

This is also odd

It should look like;

127.0.0.1	localhost
10.2.3.4	myserverhostname.usdstorage.com

Where 10.2.3.4 is the IP address of the network card (NOT localhost/loopback).


Hope that helps,
