After looking through the Kerberos V5 Installation Guide, it sounds like database propagation should work without a preexisting database on the slave KDC. However when I try to do that, I get the following message:
kpropd: /usr/kerberos/sbin/kdb5_util returned a bad exit status (2) It looks like kpropd does an execv() to kdb5_util load. When I try that command manually, without an existing database, I get: load: cannot make newly loaded database live (No such file or directory) load: cannot delete bad database /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/principal (Database has already been initialized) The newly received database gets left in principal~, lock file in principal~.kadm5.lock, etc. If I remove the "~" from each file name, then I can create the stash file and continue on. If, on the other hand, I create an empty database on the slave KDC before propagation, all is well. Am I missing something in the installation guide, or is it a requirement to create a database on the slave KDC first?
