Hello, We're currently binding hosts to a Windows 2000 domain through a third-party product (that also supports Kerberos/NFSv4) but we also have a need to have other hosts grab their credentials from a Windows KDC for NFSv4 access. While we don't intend to bind these systems to AD, we do have the requirement to pull their SPNs from AD and place them in /etc/krb5.keytab. Note that ktpass.exe is not an option here and I suspect there's another and simpler way that I'm just missing here. So, my question is: if a system has *not* been joined to the domain with 'net ads join' and has already been "pre-staged" in AD as a user/computer account with the desired SPNs by a Windows admin, can I just use Samba 'net ads keytab' to build /etc/krb5.keytab on the system without joining the system to the domain? Or is there another way to build /etc/krb5.keytab from SPNs in AD? I know I can grab the kvno from AD but that's only marginally helpful 'cause I also need the shared secrets I'd assume. Please let me know your suggestions and what I might be missing. -- NP "You will probably find that this hot mix will probably sell by the bucket load. I suggest yo...
