I wish I knew what required parameters. kadmin.local runs. Trying to use sclient, I get this error message: sendauth rejected, error reply is: " No such file or directory" syslog records: sserver: recvauth failed--No such file or directory I wish it would tell me what file or directory it did not find. I figured out that it missed /etc/krb5.keytab, which I did not create because kadmin did not run. I figured out how to create it with kadmin.local. After I got sserver/sclient and sim_server/sim_client working. I tried the Cyrus SASL sample server. It returns 'No principal in keytab matches desired name'. I wish I knew what principal it lacked. I use the same account and service I used with sclient and sim_client. How-To-Repeat: Obvious, I think. Fix: Make the error reports more discursive. russell bell
