The kerberos 5 libraries cannot contact any KDC for the requested realm.
(1) Is the correct realm being specified? (2) Is there an entry for the realm in your krb5.conf file? (3) Does the realm entry in the krb5.conf file contain entries for the KDCs? (4) If not, are there DNS SRV records specifying the KDCs for the realm? (5) If so, are DNS lookups enabled in the krb5.conf file? (6) If you believe all of this information is correct, try capturing the network traffic with tcpdump and see what is actually taking place. Jeffrey Altman Secure Endpoints Inc.
