Hi. Here's the rationale behind the krb5-kdc krb5-kadmin-server split. The krb5-kdc package includes the things you'd need on a traditional slave KDC. One of the key things about a slave KDC is that the database is read-only. The slave is not making any changes to the database, locally or otherwise. So, kadmin.local does not belong on a slave KDC. However krb5-admin-server includes the stuff you need for a master KDC: local administration tools, the admin server, etc. I'd be interested in documentation/description suggestions if this could be made more clear.
However, I would not support changing the binary location in Debian. ** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363980 Title: kadmin.local in wrong package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1363980/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
