Somewhere I've read to rename krb5.conf file and leave "net ads join" found the right ads server on the network. Beliving that it could be flexible method I try to mv krb5.conf to krb5.seek, but result is: ads_connect: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm! What's wrong? Also why leaving krb5.conf and settings password server = * it works but takes an ads server on another network? Who estabilish the precedence? Thanks. Marco.
