422.0. "kpasswd help" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Thu Nov 11 1993 12:43

Subj: 	kpasswd help

	I have been having difficulty changing my kerberos password,
although I have no trouble getting a ticket with the old password.  I
had first told my troubles to Carolyn (zap) who gave the following
response (as well as suggesting "odehelp" instead of her for these
questions):

> What OS are you running on these systems?  If you are running
> OSF, kpasswd does not work on the OSF platform. Try running it
> from one of the ULTRIX production machines, cohort, locore, flume
> & quarry are all ULTRIX machines.

	So I tried it on flume, still no luck, although the error
message looks more meaningful that the previous "kpasswd: Broken pipe
attempting to change password.\nPassword NOT changed."  The results
appear below.  Any insights?

Bill,

Flume appears to be having some problems with kinit.  Perhaps
admin or the ODE developers know what the problem is?  The
protections are wrong on /var/dss/kerberos/tkt, but I don't
think that is causing kinit to error.   I would
suggest you try your kinit on another ULTRIX machine.

For your reference: 	I have now successfully changed my

kerberos password, on machine "locore".

	Thanks,
