The FreeBSD cluster requires a Kerberos password to access certain services. The Kerberos password also serves as the LDAP web password, since LDAP is proxying to Kerberos in the cluster. Some of the services which require this include:
To create a new Kerberos account in the FreeBSD cluster, or to reset a Kerberos password for an existing account using a random password generator:
%ssh kpasswd.freebsd.org
This must be done from a machine outside of the FreeBSD.org cluster.
A Kerberos password can also be set manually
by logging into freefall.FreeBSD.org and
running:
%kpasswd
Unless the Kerberos-authenticated services
of the FreeBSD.org cluster have been used previously,
Client unknown will be shown. This
error means that the
ssh kpasswd.freebsd.org method shown above
must be used first to initialize the Kerberos account.
