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:

If there isn't anyone on this list with experience of using Kerberos on SuSE, can anyone suggest a good place to ask for help with this? I'd like to make sure I haven't made any configuration errors before I raise a support issue with SuSE.
It turned out the problem I was having with Kerberos authentication was caused by the fact that the client machine was using kinit from the Java Runtime Environment - even setting up a Kerberos Client with YaST2 doesn't install the Heimdal client (you have to manually install the heimdal package). The Java one doesn't work (I haven't investigated why, could just be that it uses different configuration files to that described in the manual and used by YaST). Even with heimdal installed, the Java version is still found first on the path, which seems to me a pretty serious bug, given it doesn't work. -- Geoff Beaumont Geoff@stormhammer.com
