I'm attempting to follow the guide on the Ubuntu wiki for installing and setting up Kerberos. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS) 64-bit. I have setup avahi-daemon in order to provide .local DNS names. I have then run:
sudo apt-get install krb5-kdc krb5-admin-server
The dialog asks me for a realm, as well as the hostname of the server, both of which I enter. However, it then seems to hit an error:
krb5kdc: cannot initialize realm myrealm - see log file for details
...fail!
The only problem - there is no logfile. It seems the default /etc/krb5.conf doesn't actually have logging enabled. Anyhow, I add the following to it:
[logging]
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5.log
and then try running:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure krb5-kdc
It still errors out, but this time, in /var/log/krb5.log, I see:
krb5kdc: No such file or directory - while initializing database for realm myrealm
However, it doesn't actually tell me what file or directory is missing.
This is my krb5.conf
[libdefaults]
default_realm = myrealm
# The following krb5.conf variables are only for MIT Kerberos.
krb4_config = /etc/krb.conf
krb4_realms = /etc/krb.realms

# The following encryption type specification will be used by MIT Kerberos

# encryption types as they are added, creating interoperability problems.
#
# Thie only time when you might need to uncomment these lines and change
# the enctypes is if you have local software that will break on ticket
# caches containing ticket encryption types it doesn't know about (such as

Any thoughts on what's going on?
