                     23: to log into _your_ system, and then to enable Kerberos.
1.1       schmonz    24: 
1.2       schmonz    25: 7. Either disable Kerberos auth for `sshd`, `login`, etc. in
1.4     ! wiki       26: `/etc/pam.d`, or tell your relevant services not to use PAM.
        !            27: 
        !            28:    /!\ Disabling KerberosAuthentication in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` does **NOT** prevent `sshd` from invoking `pam_krb5.so` and prompting for a Kerberos password -- oops. Since you probably do not have a host key in the realm NETBSD.ORG you have little to fear from ssh's KerberosAuthentication method -- nothing can get tickets to use your machine, because there is no host instance for your machine shared between the NetBSD kerberos server and your local keytab. So, the bottom line: turn off UsePAM for `sshd` or adjust your PAM configuration; don't worry about KerberosAuthentication or GSSAPIAuthentication in `sshd` itself.
        !            29: 
1.1       schmonz    30: 7. Create `/etc/krb5.conf` containing only the line `[libdefaults]`.
                     31: 
1.2       schmonz    32: NetBSD will now autodiscover and uses the NETBSD.ORG KDC as defined
                     33: in DNS. To use Kerberized TNF services, log in with your Kerberos

        !            45: 
        !            46: Therefore, to use [[Kerberos]], you should follow the following steps:
        !            47: 
        !            48: 7. Download the [MIT Kerberos for Windows](http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/dist/#kfw-3.2) installer. It is composed of different tools traditionally found with Kerberos distributions, like [[!template id=man name=kinit section=1]] or [[!template id=man name=klist section=1]], and a Network Identity Manager, an application used to manage credential caching of Kerberos tickets.
        !            49: 
        !            50: 7. Install the package. Use the default provided options, then restart the computer.
        !            51: 
        !            52: 7. The Network Identity Manager [(PDF)](http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/kfw-3.2/kfw-3.2.2/netidmgr_userdoc.pdf) should automatically start when you login. As there is no principal currently configured, it should open a dialog box to obtain the new credentials.
        !            53: 
        !            54: 7. Enter your principal:
        !            55: 
        !            56:         Username: <username>
        !            57:         Realm: NETBSD.ORG
1.3       wiki       58: 
1.4     ! wiki       59: 7. Click `Ok`. After a few seconds, it should obtain the TGT for you from NetBSD.ORG KDC.
