Hi, I'm running a mixed linux/Windows network with authentication done using Active Directory. The Linux clients use Samba/Winbind for authentication (with help from the list, thanks!). I've setup smb.conf such that doing 'net ads join -Uadministrator' populates my /etc/krb5.keytab (see configuration files below). klist shows me a nice set of principals from /etc/krb5.keytab klist -k /etc/krb5.keytab Keytab name: WRFILE:/etc/krb5.keytab KVNO Principal ---- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 host/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 host/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 host/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 host/ubuntu at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 host/ubuntu at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 host/ubuntu at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 UBUNTU$@EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 UBUNTU$@EDEN.SONYTEL.BE 2 UBUNTU$@EDEN.SONYTEL.BE If I look on the AD server using ADSI edit I see the following values in the servicePrincipalName field for the clients Computer object: HOST/UBUNTU HOST/ubuntu.sonytel.be However when I try to use any of the principals using 'kinit -k principalname' I get: kinit host/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE kinit: Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial credentials Why doesn't this work? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm also trying to get NFSv4 with kerberos going, however when I try to mount a remote filesystem I see the following error messages and the mount gets a permission denied: handling krb5 upcall Full hostname for 'linux2-install.sonytel.be' is 'linux2-install.sonytel.be' Full hostname for 'ubuntu.sonytel.be' is 'ubuntu.sonytel.be' Key table entry not found while getting keytab entry for 'root/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE' Key table entry not found while getting keytab entry for 'nfs/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE' Success getting keytab entry for 'host/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE' WARNING: Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial ticket for principal 'host/ubuntu.sonytel.be at EDEN.SONYTEL.BE' using keytab 'WRFILE:/etc/krb5.keytab' ERROR: No credentials found for connection to server linux2-install.sonytel.be doing error downcall destroying client clnt19 Any idea what might be wrong?
