Thanks, n ya i too got suspicious regarding the trailing period hence removed it , but still there is some issue
Here is what happens when i try to [root@localhost ~]# kdb5_util create -r MYGROUP.COM -s Loading random data Initializing database '/var/lib/krb5kdc/principal' for realm 'MYGROUP.COM', master key name 'K/m...@mygroup.com' You will be prompted for the database Master Password. It is important that you NOT FORGET this password. Enter KDC database master key: Re-enter KDC database master key to verify: create: File exists while creating database '/var/lib/krb5kdc/principal' [root@localhost ~]# kadmin.local Authenticating as principal root/ad...@mygroup.com with password. kadmin.local: No such file or directory while initializing kadmin.local interface [root@localhost ~]# I think there is some path issue cz it says "File exists while creating database '/var/lib/krb5kdc/principal'" but there is no such location in my m/c and location of kdc.conf file is "/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf" and krb5.conf file is /etc/krb.conf Please suggest something.
