I feel like I'm sooo close yet so far. I'm trying to avoid using a Domain controller at all, and just setting up authentication at windows login to authenticate against my already existing linux KDC. I have setup the machine password, user mappings, realm setting, etc. on the Windows Machines (1 XP and 1 2000) using ksetup, and setup the proper principals (both host and user) on the linux side. When I try to login to the realm from one of the workstations, the auth.log shows that the both windows machine and user are authenticating PROPERLY against the kerberos realm. However, I still get a login error on the windows side. After turning on login loggin' (he he) it shows a Failure code 537 "An unexpected error occurred during login" in the event viewer on the clients (both XP and 2000). (such a descriptive error message) my kerberos principal user "ken" is properly mapped on the windows machines to the account "ken". Has anyone seen this error? Does anyone know what I'm missing???
