New subject: smbk5pwd: unable to initialize krb5 admin context: failed to open /var/lib/heimdal-kdc/m-key: Permission denied (13).

6 May 2008


      After many struggles getting smbk5pwd to work on CentOS, I have switched to
Ubuntu LTS 8.04. I have heimdal-kdc installed as well as slapd. I was able
to compile smbk5pwd and install it, but once I add the overlay to my
config...I get this error when I try to start it.
*....

*I have made sure the /var/lib/heimdal-kdc/m-key file exists, and even made
the file and directory have 777 permissions. Any ideas? Below is my
slapd.conf config.*

Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated!
