Description of problem: Kerberos Configuration Guide [1] references to a service "krb524" which does not exist in Fedora 18. > Start Kerberos using the following commands: > /sbin/service krb5kdc start > /sbin/service kadmin start > /sbin/service krb524 start I'm not very familiar with Kerberos, but I guess the service was merged into krb5kdc. I will add krb5 maintainer to CC. [1] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Security_Guide/sect-Security_Guide-Kerberos-Configuring_a_Kerberos_5_Server.html
The krb524 service was obsoleted, along with the rest of the Kerberos IV functionality, in the upstream Kerberos 1.7 release, which was included in Fedora 12. There is no equivalent; the functionality is gone.
So is the entire section of 'Configuring a Kerberos 5 Server' incorrect?
It's still largely correct. Exceptions: there is no krb524d daemon or init script any more. The kdb5_util command lives in /usr/sbin now. I don't know what "(not the Kerberos server)" means in "By default, kinit attempts to authenticate using the same system login username (not the Kerberos server)." The subsequent client configuration section will need to be updated when we switch to providing systemd unit files instead of xinetd configuration for F19, including
... some of the service names changing. Apologies for hitting "save changes" too soon there.
Created attachment 692937 [details] Removing deprecated Kerberos daemon and other text. Does this fix the bug?
I can't speak to the formatting after it's processed, or for the original reporter, but the facts look right to me.
Thank you very much! As I said, I do not know Kerberos. But the changes look good to me. I would just suggest to drop the "/usr/sbin" prefixes from the commands.
Thanks for pointing out the error. I've made some changes and will be pushing the changes up at the next available time.
