Re: krb5 auth problem
Heres an update to the kerberos realm issue I am now seeing. I want to use my secondary KDC (UVWX.YZ.EDU) rather than the primary KDC (YZ.EDU), but amanda doesnt seem to know how to look for it. I include the KDC realm in all of my config's. amanda.conf, and .k5login. Here is my .k5login backup/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I am able to kinit with the secondary KDC on the client using the keytab that I have on the server. [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ kinit backup/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -kt /home/ ckotil/keytab-amanda [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ This works just fine. Here is what i have in my amanda.conf krb5keytab /etc/amanda/keytab-amanda krb5principal backup/[EMAIL PROTECTED] The reason I think that amanda is ignoring the kerberos realm is because of this error that I see on the client in /tmp/amanda/amandad. 1214918169.546254: amandad: gss_name host/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1214918169.546587: amandad: critical (fatal): gss_server failed: can't acquire creds for host key host/skip: No such file or directory It claims the gss_name is host/[EMAIL PROTECTED] when it should be host/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Any ideas?

Re: krb5 auth problem
Yah, A little background might help. UVWX.YZ.EDU is the realm of my secondary KDC for these two hosts (the clients) which I am trying to configure krb auth on. YZ.EDU is the primary KDC on these hosts. These two hosts are my bastion servers , i.e. hop off boxes to protect my local machines. The local machines are all members of the UVWX.YZ.EDU realm. But the two bastion servers also have UVWX.YZ.EDU configured in the krb5.conf as secondary realms, which is why I can kinit to the UVWX.YZ.EDU realm w/ the keytab I created. I admin the UVWX.YZ.EDU realm, so it is easy for me to generate keytabs and the like. The YZ.EDU realm i do not admin. Hope this helps. --Chad On Jul 1, 2008, at 10:58 AM, Mitch Collinsworth wrote: If your realm is YZ.EDU, then that's what you use.

Re: krb5 auth problem
If your realm is YZ.EDU, then that's what you use. If UVWX.YZ.EDU is a host name and not a realm name, then it doesn't belong in your principal names. Can you explain why you want to auth against the secondary rather than the primary? I can't think of any reason that should matter. -Mitch On Tue, 1 Jul 2008, Chad Kotil wrote: Heres an update to the kerberos realm issue I am now seeing.
