Log files of kerberos not working

RuBiCK · #1 (**permalink**) 08-18-2009

Hello,

I have configured client kerberos on HP-UX 11.31. Actually I have some problems with authentication but and when I try to read logfiles, all of them are empty:

Code:

#ls -la /var/adm/kerberos/*
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root       sys              0 Aug 10 13:05 /var/adm/kerberos/kadmin.log
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root       sys              0 Aug 10 13:05 /var/adm/kerberos/krb5kdc.log
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root       sys              0 Aug 10 13:05 /var/adm/kerberos/krb5lib.log

Please, note log files have 777 to avoid permission problems. And "Aug 10" is the day I created manually these files.

Here, logging configuration in /etc/krb5.conf

Code:

[logging]
        kdc = FILE:/var/adm/kerberos/krb5kdc.log
        admin_server = FILE:/var/adm/kerberos/kadmin.log
        default = FILE:/var/adm/kerberos/krb5lib.log

Any suggestion why logging is not working?

Thanks

I have found the answer.

Only MIT kerberos can logging. These lines are present to preserve compatibility. HP-UX Kerberos is NOT MIT kerberos.

I hope this information will be helpfull for somebody

Thanks for letting us know anyway...

I suppose the tendency now is to see kerberos as "has been" and try to implement some RBAC solution...

Best regards

Quite a long time since I last did some kerberos and it wasnt on HPUX (but AIX...)
