Can Not Fetch Master Key (error: No Such File Or Directory). While Initializing, Aborting
2007-02-28: #2 Thank you for your bug report. Can you still reproduce this? Changed in krb5: assignee: nobody → chris-vault5 status: Unconfirmed → Needs Info olof (olof-gross) wrote on 2007-06-24: #3 I got the same error before i ran the krb5_newrealm command. Took me a long time to come to that conclusion, hope it helps! drink (martin-espinoza) wrote on 2008-03-27: #4 This problem is still current today. If you entered the realm when prompted during the interactive portion you can run kdb5_util create -s Without any further arguments. I got my initial config info from http://www.alittletooquiet.net/text/kerberos-on-ubuntu/ This article has a couple problems (I have emailed the author) but is helpful nonetheless. You need to run the create command before restarting the daemons, which the author doesn't know until he reads my email. :) Anyway I just updated and installed a few minutes ago and this bug is still active on 7.10.

Starting Kerberos 5 Kdc: Krb5kdc: Cannot Initialize Realm
(225 points) Q: Log filling up with kadmind: no such file kdb5_util: no such entry in the database while retrieving master entry or directory while initializing My log files are being spammed with"kadmind; No such file or directory while kadmin: cannot contact any kdc for requested realm while initializing kadmin interface initializing, aborting"followed by edu.mit.kadmind exiting and respawning and then 4x:"krb5kdc: cannot initialize realm My-FQDM.NET - see log file for details"Not surprisingly, Kerberos logins do not work, for instance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44402 from iCal I get:"Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm"This is a brand new iMac with a brand new install of OS X Leopard, using "Standard" configuration. I'm a complete network admin newb and acknowledge that; I could really use some help getting Kerberos working, and failing that, getting it to stop respawning and spamming the error https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1934679?tstart=0 logs. 3.06GHz iMac 4GB RAM, 2 GHz MacBook 2GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.5.6) Posted on Mar 9, 2009 4:11 PM I have this question too Close Q: Log filling up with kadmind: no such file or directory while initializing All replies Helpful answers by Derek Jones3, Derek Jones3 Mar 9, 2009 4:19 PM in response to Derek Jones3 Level 2 (225 points) Mar 9, 2009 4:19 PM in response to Derek Jones3 Followup, if I run kadmind from the command line I get:Couldn't open log file var/log/krb5kdc/kadmin.log: Permission deniedkadmind: Permission denied while initializing, abortingWhich explains why the krb5kdc log folder in Console is greyed out....related or coincidence?

At this point your best option is to reinstall the server software

Host princ & keytab Testing See also Further reading Sources Introduction First developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the early 1980s, Kerberos is a network protocol that offers highly secure, cross-platform, universal authentication for users, hosts and services. In addition, it is the most common single sign-on technology used in Unix-like environments. Kerberos makes use of secret-key cryptography and a centralized Key Distribution Center (KDC) server containing a database of principals; pairs of names and passwords. The system also relies heavily on timestamps, so reasonably accurate time synchronization among all participating hosts is essential. Once authenticated, users receive a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) from the KDC that is thereafter used to automatically request other temporary tickets with which to gain access to hosts and services that are part of the same realm: a set of objects under the administrative control of a distinct Kerberos installation. Indeed, hosts and services must also have entries in the KDC, as well as in their local keytab file (a table of encryption keys), before users can access them. Kerberized services − those that support Kerberos natively − are to be preferred in such environments, as only these can silently verify a user's existing Kerberos credentials. Most other services are capable of working with Kerberos through PAM, but if they are accessible only via the network, they will unfortunately prompt the user for their password. In this example, MIT Kerberos V is installed on a host running Debian 6.0 (squeeze). If followed properly, this step-by-step process should produce a new realm with a master KDC and Kerberos administration server. But, before the actual Kerberos installation process can begin, it will first be necessary to install Debian on a new host called kdc1.example.com. A DNS server must also be available on the network with a zone file to which forward and reverse mappings can be added for this host, as well as an alias for it called krb.example.com. After the initial installation of the operating system, make sure these packages are installed on the system as well: ~# apt-get install ssh ntp ntpdate xinetd nmap Consequently, edit /etc/ntp.conf so that the machine synchronizes to a common NTP server (preferably a local one) and edit /etc/default/ntpdate to use the same host also. Now the installation process for the MIT Ker
