Revision as of 12:14, 26 June 2009

Bugs I've encountered and fixed (started loggin since Jun 24th).

  • When trying to kinit username
ERROR: kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for realm [your realm fqdn] while getting initial credentials
SOLUTION: 1. check log file. I looked in /var/log/auth.log. The bottom of it says: Cannot create reply cache file /var/tmp/krb5kdc_rcache: File exits. 2. sudo rm /var/tmp/krb5kdc_rcache.
  • Can't start krb5kdc and in auth.log it says:
ERROR: Address already in use - Cannot bind server socket to port [#] address [IP address]
SOLUTION: 1. see if it is true that port [#] is in use by netstat -nap | grep [#] (I also did pgrep -x krb5kdc). 2. kill the process: pkill -x krb5kdc. note the "-x" is for matching exactly the process "krb5kdc".


Tips. Useful little things to know

Python

  • p = Popen('blah', stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
(out, err) = p.communicate('inputThing\n') <-- don't forget the return "\n" at the end!
  • When you're doing a bunch of p=Popen('shell command') be careful because Popen starts a new branch so the next Popen might start without the previous one having completed. To fix this problem, put in:
if int(p.wait()) != 0: #meaning that it's not executed
print "error message"
exit
  • Two ways to display outputs after Popen( a command that has to get into something, in my case, getting into kadmin.local) 06262009
Way 1:
:p = Popen(['commannd', 'all', 'in', 'one', 'line'], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) #e.g. ['kadmin.local', '-q', 'listprincs'] :if int(p.wait()) != 0: : print "bad at p" :print p.stdout.readlines() :
Way 1:
:p = Popen(['command', 'front', 'chunk'], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) #e.g. ['kadmin.local'] :(out, err) = p.communicate('rest of command') #e.g. 'listprincs' :print out :
