I'm not aware of a dedicated utility. However, the KDC is basically a stateless UDP service, so recording a live transaction and replaying an input packet is expected to yield some sort of response packet. Doing this periodically allows for a very primitive "liveness check" which can be used in some monitoring setups. Of course, if one wants to monitor that the KDC is actually functioning properly and not just spewing error packets, more effort is required. -Ben Kaduk ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
