Questions regarding database replications
Hi,
I am working on a test cell migrating from an afs kaserver to heimdal
krb5 version 0.6.1 on solaris 9.
It seems that using iprop breaks the kaserver emulation. I am able to
sucessfully propogate the the database to the slave servers using iprop.
When I use kinit I get a working ticket and afs token as expected. If I
try to klog I get errors that the afs user doesn't exist in the
database. I am running the kdc on the AFS database servers and kaserver
is shutdown. I run the kdc and iprop from the bosserver.
This problem does not occur when I use hprop to propogate the database
to the slave servers.
I have some other questions that I have note been able to find answers
to in the docs -
In Jason Garman's book on kerberos he writes that the database file
is /var/heimdal/heimdal.db. I don't see such a file. The following is
a listing of /var/heimdal on my master server --
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 25432 Apr 20 13:30 default.log
-rw------- 1 root other 4096 Apr 20 11:58 heimdal.dir
-rw------- 1 root other 0 Apr 20 11:11 heimdal.lock
-rw------- 1 root other 28046336 Apr 20 13:30 heimdal.pag
-rw------- 1 root other 0 Apr 20 11:15 heimdal~.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 18 Apr 20 11:19 kadmind.acl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24539 Apr 20 13:40 kdc.log
-rw------- 1 root other 49039 Apr 20 13:30 log
-rw------- 1 root other 69 Apr 20 11:10 m-key
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Apr 20 11:27 signal
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 69 Apr 20 11:29 slaves
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 371 Apr 20 13:43 slaves-stats
I assume the actual database is heimdal.pag. Is this correct??
I am somewhat suprised to find that the sizes of heimdal.pag are
different on the slaves.
-rw------- 1 root root 800768 Apr 20 13:30 heimdal.pag
The size also changes when I propgate the database using hprop
-rw------- 1 root root 515072 Apr 20 13:57 heimdal.pag
I would have assumed that the database would be exactly the same on the
master and slaves regardless of the method of propagation.
