You can do this. Don't start the kerberos : server, disable the kerberos ports in inetd.conf, and remove the : KerberosIV directory in /etc. Perhaps someone else can provide a : more definitive way to turn it off. Ok, if it's that hard to kill, maybe I should learn to coexist with it. The real problem is that none of the other machines I deal with use Kerberos, and it turns out that anybody doing a remote login can't change their password. It just so happens that when I played with passwords I was on the console, and there passwd works. Do I have to turn on Kerberos service and make the machine its own server? thanks! bob
