What are you using to login? telnet/rsh/ssh? My first guess is that ssh is configured to disallow root logins on the second system.
As an aside, I'd highly recommend against using a 'root' principle. It's dangerous and doesn't leave a good audit trail. We prefer our admins to login with normal accounts and 'ksu' if they need admin privileges. -Mike > Hello ml, > > i have just installed Kerberos on a Debian (Sarge) System. > > I configured pam to allow kerberos login. > > Every non-root user can successfully login and get a kerberos ticket. > > But the root-user cannot login. > > When i try to login as root on a client-machine the login works > (password get verified by the kerberos-server) and i get a kerberos > ticket. > > Both machines have the same pam configuration and version.
