Dear All,

Sometime back, we installed Linux AS 4 on one of our HP Xeon box.   We are 
not sure whether kerberos 5 has been successfully installed or who or how 
login.krb5 got enabled on the box.  Whenever anyone does telnet to this 
box, it takes about 3-4 minutes to get  $ prompt after typing userid and 
password.  It seems it is waiting for something and at the end it times 
out.  While running ps -aef from other terminal, we came to know that 
process is running login.krb5.

At the end it displays messages:
login: Resource temporarily unavailable while getting initial credentials

I get similar message if I try kinit or kadmin.

We want to uninstall or disable kerberos authentication.  I looked at 
/etc/krb5.conf.  Path to kdc.conf mentioned in that file does not exist. I 
tried after creating zero byte file there but it did not help :-( 

Is there a way I can verify the installation?

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
