[KLUG Members] Kerberos

[Jeremy Leonard]

I'm trying to set up Kerberos Authentication for Apache2 on SLES9.

I've been unable to find rpm's or successfully compile an auth mod for 
Apache2.

I decided to use pam_auth_mod and configure pam to use kerberos.

The problem I'm running into is this.

When I log in to the system either using pam or via apache the request 
never gets sent to the Kerberos server unless there is an existing local 
account in passwd. Then even if there is a local account kerberos auth 
still fails.

The Kerberos server is a SUSE box running MIT Kerberos.
I'm using Heimdal Kerberos on SLES9.
If I manually query the kerberos server I get a ticket.
