Hi Everyone, I'm trying to get smbclient to cooperate with my new EMC Celerra (just got it a little while ago) using kerberos. My windows domain environment is win2000 + sp4, the EMC is "joined" to the domain. I am using samba 3.0, fresh sources, and MIT KRB5 1.3.4, all freshly built. I join the domain, etc. everything is happy. I use kinit user@REALM to get my initial tgt. then, i use smbclient //emc/share -k and I get this error: # ./smbclient //emc/share -k krb5_get_credentials failed for EMC$@mydomain.com (KDC reply did not match expectations) spnego_gen_negTokenTarg failed: KDC reply did not match expectations session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0 looking at an ethereal trace, I notice some funny things. first, the EMC returns the principal name in the NegProt response as EMC@mydomain.com ... this is backwards, me thinks, as usually I have observed the principal (target host) in lowercase and the realm in all uppercase. You think this has anything to do with it? Looking at the TGS exchange, I see the realm(domain) in lowercase and the system name in upcase. The TGT-REP, however, has the Realm in the cleartext "Ticket" part in uppercase as well as the target system name. I have observed MIT KRB5 1.3.4 being a bit more picky about these things than earlier versions, and Micro$oft doesn't seem to give a hoot about case. Note, smbclient never actually tries to contact the EMC beyond the NegProt exchange. smbclient + kerberos (same binary as above) *is* happy going against my Windows2000 domain controller. In this situation, I notice the NetProt response has the server name in lowercase and the realmname in uppercase. Am I a victim of bad luck or is their an interop issue here? I know EMC's don't grow on trees, so it may be difficult to test this beast in the community. Any advice appreciated, I'm certainly willing to try things! all the best, Joey.
