[ecorban]

Hi

I need to turn of kerberos security on a server as it stopping me from logging on to the hosts through remsh. how do i stop its from doing the following ?

remsh cp092013
ERROR! Kerberos authentication failed.
Can't open/find Kerberos configuration file.
#

thanks alot

It certainly seems to me as if Kerobos or its configuration files have already been removed.

swlist -l product | grep -i kerobos

see what comes up and run swremove on it.

What really should be done is a system restore of the Kerobos files that have been deleted. This problem will not be limited to just remesh.

On HPUX 11.00 Internet services such as telnet, rlogin, remsh operate in kerberos or non-kerberos mode. If operating in Kerberos mode the password will not be sent in clear text between the client and the server machine.

kerberos security can be enabled for all the Internet Services using:
# inetsvcs_sec enable

and it can be disabled using :
# inetsvcs_sec disable

But just doing "inetsvcs_sec enable" will not be a sufficient, the kerberos client configuration file /etc/krb5.conf file has to be edited to add the Kerberos server name and the default flags, etc; and also the keytab setup has to be done for the remsh server machine.

Hope this helps.
