Re: Permission denied when checking out from kerberos client

[Nick Wales]

Many thanks Larry, I've pushed on past that problem... and now hit 
another one.

From the client end I'm getting the following (assuming a kerberos 
ticket has already been requested by now):

$ cvs -d :gserver:<hostname>:/var/cvs checkout test
cvs checkout: GSSAPI authentication failed: Unspecified GSS failure.  
Minor code may provide more information
cvs [checkout aborted]: GSSAPI authentication failed: Unknown code krb5 154

The kerberos server appears to authenticate fine...

May 15 15:32:00 dnsntp1 krb5kdc[6551](info): TGS_REQ (7 etypes {18 17 16 
23 1 3 2}) <ip_address>: ISSUE: authtime 1179231979, etypes {rep=16 
tkt=16 ses=16}, nick.wales@<hostname> for krbtgt/<principal_name>

and the syslog on the cvs server gives the following

May 15 15:32:00 cvs xinetd[2170]: START: cvspserver pid=2219 
from=192.168.34.228
May 15 15:32:00 cvs xinetd[2170]: EXIT: cvspserver status=1 pid=2219 
duration=0(sec)

Unfortunately none of this is giving me a lot to go on in order to fix 
it, even google is drawing a blank... any further advice would be much 
appreciated..
