Subj: 	cannot use kpasswd to change kerberos password

Hi,

I have set up a kerberos database for ode environment. However,
I cannot use kpasswd to change kerberos passwd.

# in the kerberos server machine 

> kpasswd
Old password for Alan_Tam:
New Password for Alan_Tam:
Verifying, please re-enter New Password for Alan_Tam:
kpasswd: Unknown code kadm 16  attempting to change password.
Password NOT changed.

Is there anything wrong about my kerberos setup? 
Also I found that kadmind does not work at all. When I execute kadmind,
it will put many blanks to my terminal and it uses many CPU time.
My machine is a RISC-Ultirx machine.

Best regards,

Alan Tam

PS. Is there any note conference about ode so that I can find FAQ of ode.

Are you trying to run kpasswd on an osf machine?  I believe there is
a bug in kpasswd such that it only works on ULTRIX...

Alan,

There is a notes conference for ode:  DECWET::ODE 

For kpasswd to work please make sure the system is setup as in
/usr/sde/CLIENT_INSTALLATION.  Run /usr/sde/install/ultrix-ode-install
and indicate that you're a client - it will put in some system file
entries including kerberos_master entries in /etc/services.

If you are using the ZK-based kerberos database, here's an /etc/krb.conf
file you can use:

ZONE
ZONE    lastin.zk3.dec.com
ZONE    abyss.zk3.dec.com
ZONE    flume.zk3.dec.com
ZONE    krisis.zk3.dec.com
ZONE    wasted.zk3.dec.com
ZONE    merge.zk3.dec.com
ZONE    merge.zk3.dec.com admin dummy

The final entry with "admin" is the one that kpasswd uses to find the master.

Subj: 	Kerberos Password

I'm not sure if this should go to odehelp or admin so I'm sending to both.  Sorry
if it doesn't belong to you...

I need to know what the kerberos password is for the account 

		atmproj_Peter_Schulter

This is the account set up for me to do shared sandbox administration.  I
need to do some submits but can't do a kinit.

Thanks,
