Hi, I'm in the process of setting up a small network using SuSE 8.2 pro - as this network needs the ability to scale rapidly in the future, and to be as unobstructive as possible to end users, I decided to build it round a Kerberos/LDAP authentication system. Following the instructions in the SuSE 8.2 Admin Guide, I've created a Kerberos realm named the same as my internal DNS domain, but upper case, and can obtain tickets from this using kinit on the local machine. However, I can't obtain a ticket from a remote machine, instead getting the following error: Exception: krb_error 38 Incorrect net address (38) Incorrect net address KrbException: Incorrect net address (38) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsRep.<init>(DashoA6275:62) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsReq.getReply(DashoA6275:308) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsReq.getReply(DashoA6275:271) at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.<init>(DashoA6275:264) at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.main(DashoA6275:104) Caused by: KrbException: Identifier doesn't match expected value (906) at sun.security.krb5.internal.af.a(DashoA6275:129) at sun.security.krb5.internal.au.a(DashoA6275:58) at sun.security.krb5.internal.au.<init>(DashoA6275:53) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsRep.<init>(DashoA6275:48) ... 4 more As far as I can see, everything is set up correctly in the local /etc/krb.conf. The default_realm is correct, there is a realms entry for it giving the FQDN of the Kerberos server for kdc, kpasswd_server and admin_server. I did attempt to set up Kerberos via DNS but got a message saying it couldn't identify the kdc, so it's presumably getting further than that now - I'll have another go at the DNS route once I know the basics are working. I've searched the web trying to find out what the above error actually means, and drawn a blank - can anyone enlighten me? If it's any help I can post details from the actual configuration files - this is tucked away on a private network, so there's no real risk, and I can change everything afterwards once I know how to do it.
