Problems Propagating the Kerberos Database

If propagating the Kerberos database fails, try /usr/bin/rlogin -x between the slave KDC and master KDC, and from the master KDC to the slave KDC server.

If the KDCs have been set up to restrict access, rlogin is disabled and cannot be used to troubleshoot this problem. To enable rlogin on a KDC, you must enable the eklogin service.

# svcadm enable svc:/network/login:eklogin

After you finish troubleshooting the problem, you need to disable the eklogin service..

If rlogin does not work, problems are likely because of the keytab files on the KDCs. If rlogin does work, the problem is not in the keytab file or the name service, because rlogin and the propagation software use the same host/host-name principal. In this case, make sure that the kpropd.acl file is correct.
