Configuring Kerberos KDC [1/13]: setting KDC account password [2/13]: adding sasl mappings to the directory root : CRITICAL failed to add Full Principal Sasl mapping The root of the problem turned out to be a bad entry in /etc/hosts It would be helpful for debugging if we could do a consistency check of /etc/hosts with DNS, or include in error output what host we are trying to connect to. Something to provide a clue where the problem lies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipa-server-1.2.1-0.fc10.x86_64
