Hi All, This is my first post, and I'm new to Samba... I'm working on a Squid project running on RHEL5.3. Samba v 3.4.5-42 x86 and have run into a problem. I use Kerberos authentication on my Squid box. After configuring Squid I joined my RH to my AD domain and then used Samba to generate a Keytab and add an HTTP SPN to it: - export KRB5_KTNAME=FILE:/etc/squid/HTTP.keytab - net ads keytab CREATE - net ads keytab ADD HTTP - unset KRB5_KTNAME All this works perfectly however, at random times in the week my Squid reports that the KVNO is invalid. Users are prompted by an unsatisfiable login prompt I check in AD and notice the number has incremented. I can create a new keytab, reload Squid and everything works again. I believe Samba is updating the AD account and thus invalidating the exported keytab. Is there are way to auto-update the exported keytab? Or another way I can ensure that my Keytab stays in sync? Or am I approaching this wrongly..?
