  • "error reading keytab 'FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab'"

    However, I am using pam_krb5-2.2.14-22.el5.x86_64 (or later) and multiple servers are still reporting the same issue

    secure.1:Nov 23 21:38:56 PAM_TEST sshd[3335]: pam_krb5[3335]: error reading keytab 'FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab'
    secure.1:Nov 23 21:38:56 PAM_TEST sshd[3335]: pam_krb5[3335]: TGT verified
    secure.1:Nov 23 21:38:56 PAM_TEST sshd[3335]: pam_krb5[3335]: authentication succeeds for 'jdoe'

    I have attempted to add "no_validate" to:

    /etc/pam.d/password-auth-ac
    /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac

    For example:

    auth sufficient pam_krb5.so use_first_pass no_validate

    But I am still seeing a ton of these messages in the logs. I would be grateful for any assistance that can be offered.
