3 Start the Kerberos daemons on the master KDC
4 ============================================
6 At this point, you are ready to start the Kerberos KDC
7 (:ref:`krb5kdc(8)`) and administrative daemons on the Master KDC. To
10 shell% /usr/local/sbin/krb5kdc
11 shell% /usr/local/sbin/kadmind
13 Each server daemon will fork and run in the background.
15 .. note:: Assuming you want these daemons to start up automatically at
16 boot time, you can add them to the KDC's ``/etc/rc`` or
17 ``/etc/inittab`` file. You need to have a
18 :ref:`stash_definition` in order to do this.
20 You can verify that they started properly by checking for their
21 startup messages in the logging locations you defined in
22 :ref:`krb5.conf(5)` (see :ref:`logging`). For example::
24 shell% tail /var/log/krb5kdc.log
25 Dec 02 12:35:47 beeblebrox krb5kdc[3187](info): commencing operation
26 shell% tail /var/log/kadmin.log
27 Dec 02 12:35:52 beeblebrox kadmind[3189](info): starting
29 Any errors the daemons encounter while starting will also be listed in
32 As an additional verification, check if :ref:`kinit(1)` succeeds
33 against the principals that you have created on the previous step
34 (:ref:`addadmin_kdb`). Run::
36 shell% /usr/local/bin/kinit admin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
