https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/regarding-quot-gssapi-error-quot-message/m-p/3897563#M65061 Usually GSSAPI refers to Kerberos authentication, but it can be related to other things too (see <A href="http://www.faqs.org/faqs/kerberos-faq/general/section-84.html" target="_blank">http://www.faqs.org/faqs/kerberos-faq/general/section-84.html</A> ).<BR /><BR />RHEL ES 4 is ready for Kerberos authentication by default - it just needs to be configured. In this case, it would seem that Kerberos authentication is not completely configured.<BR /><BR />Is Kerberos in use at the customer site, and is it supposed to be used with sendmail? In other words, is this server supposed to require Kerberos authentication before accepting email from a mail client using SMTP?<BR /><BR />If not, there should be no serious impact as the system will fall back to other authentication mechanisms. You might want to disable the Kerberos authentication attempts to avoid this log message.<BR /><BR /> Tue, 14 Nov 2006 01:27:26 GMT Matti_Kurkela 2006-11-14T01:27:26Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/regarding-quot-gssapi-error-quot-message/m-p/3897562#M65060 Hello, <BR />At the customer site, the following message<BR />has appeared at messages file:<BR /><BR />sendmail: GSSAPI Error : Miscellaneous failure No such file or directory<BR /><BR />[ENVIRONMENT] <BR />RHEL ES 4 UP2<BR /><BR />[QUESTION] <BR />- What does the message mean ? <BR />- What shall we do if the message appear ? <BR />- What does the message impact to the system ?<BR /><BR />Thank you for advice.<BR />Best Regards.<BR />/Minoru.Asano<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /> Mon, 13 Nov 2006 20:20:33 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/regarding-quot-gssapi-error-quot-message/m-p/3897562#M65060 Minoru Asano 2006-11-13T20:20:33Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/regarding-quot-gssapi-error-quot-message/m-p/3897563#M65061 Usually GSSAPI refers to Kerberos authentication, but it can be related to other things too (see <A href="http://www.faqs.org/faqs/kerberos-faq/general/section-84.html" target="_blank">http://www.faqs.org/faqs/kerberos-faq/general/section-84.html</A> ).<BR /><BR />RHEL ES 4 is ready for Kerberos authentication by default - it just needs to be configured.
