[comp.protocols.kerberos] Problems creating master database

goldkamp@rex.cs.tulane.edu (Rich Goldkamp) (04/28/91)

After building and installing the Kerberos software, I get the following
error when I run kdb_edit:
> 
> Opening database...
> 
> Enter Kerberos master key: 
> 
> verify_master_key: kerberos error on master key version lookup, 0 found.
> 
When I ran kdb_init, I received no error messages, and it created the files

     /kerberos/principal.dir     4096 bytes;
     /kerberos/principal.pag        0 bytes;
     /kerberos/principal.ok         0 bytes.

The error I get when running kdb_edit occurs whether I enter the same 
master key as entered in kdb_init or not.  The same error also occurs
if I try to run kstash.

Background:  I am using Kerberos in an AIX environment on PS/2's.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what may be causing this?
