Hello, If I give a key_stash_file in my realm configuration, krb5kdc starts up correctly on its own using that file. However, krb5kdc -m insists on using the configured stash file anyway; I have to remove the key_stash_file setting in order to use krb5kdc -m. This seems wrong, and in any event is not true of kadmin.local or kdb5_util. (MIT Kerberos 1.10.3 built on Debian squeeze) Thanks, -- Richard E. Silverman res@qoxp.net
