kerberos5: breaks system kerberos just by being installed

Reported by: telotortium (Robert Irelan) Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.8.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: kerberos5

Description (last modified by telotortium (Robert Irelan))

At my workplace, I need to run kinit for SSH (I have GSSAPIAuthentication yes set in SSH config). Specifically, this is the command I run: /usr/bin/kinit --keychain username@EXAMPLE.COM. I see the following error message when Macports kerberos5 is installed: kinit: krb5_get_init_creds: unable to reach any KDC in realm EXAMPLE.COM, tried 4 KDCs.

Force uninstalling kerberos5 fixes the issue, but kerberos5 is reinstalled whenever I upgrade my ports, since it is a dependency of several other ports. Why does the kerberos5 port break system Kerberos?

I don't know Kerberos well enough to be able to answer that. We are just providing the software the developers of Kerberos have written. If the software doesn't work well for you you'll have to contact its developers for help.
