  • could not get default ccache?

    Hi folks! I'm back into Kerberos after being away for many years.
    I'm delighted to see some familiar names here (hi Ken!) and glad to see
    the great development that has happened in the years since I've run Krb5.

    So I'm setting up a KDC and some clients on a test network.
    Everything works fine fine, I can get a ticket etc, until I try to
    establish an authenticated telnet connection. Running telnet, enabling autologin and authdebug, and connecting to a client system persistently
    fails with:

    telnet: Kerberos V5: could not get default ccache

    This rings a faint bell from when I was running a large Kerberized
    network at Digex in the 1990s, but I can't quite get past it now.
    Before I start digging into the sources, can anyone point me in the
    right direction for this somewhat unhelpful error message from telnet?

    My platform is a SmartOS native zone (Solaris), using Krb5 v1.18 from pkgsrc.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    -Dave McGuire
