The install process for nearly all UNIX OSes puts an entry into the /etc/hosts file. On some platforms, this end ups as something like: 127.0.0.1 hostname localhost.localdomain localhost This is bad for Kerberos, although it works for laptops where the non-local IP may keep changing. Kerberos needs an entry that returns a fqdn for the host using a valid external IP, like: 18.4.5.6 validhost.in.dns.fqdn.edu validhost This is a very common problem for users asking for help in the #kerberos IRC channel. <<CDC ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
