- I am having problems with kerberos client stuff on multi-homed hosts.
-
- Here's my situation. I have kerberos running on several machines
- which have ethernet and FDDI interfaces, and have the problem that
- I acquire my tickets through the FDDI interface but when I present
- them I sometimes do so through my ethernet interface. The server
- which I present the ticket to then thinks that it is bogus because
- the address I am coming from doesn't match the address in the ticket.
-
- I need a way for the server to recognize that the address in the ticket
- and the address of the interface that I am coming from are associated with
- the same host. The only ways that I can think of to do this are:
-
- 1. Use nameservice. This is insecure because you may not
- necessarily trust the nameserver.
- 2. Have an equivalency list on the local host. This doesn't scale
- well, nor can you know about all machines which might try to
- connect to your service.
-
- Is there a kerberized nameserver or a better method that someone is
- using right now? Even examples of the above would be appreciated.

- Thanks in advance,
