If you’re wondering why the CCacheServer
daemon, that caches in memory
Kerberos tickets obtained via kinit(1)
is NOT starting .. that’s because of a
strange bug regarding the LimitLoadToSessionType
specified into the agent
.plist, located into
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/edu.mit.kerberos.CCacheServer.plist
on OSX 10.5
systems.
You simply have to comment out these two lines:
<key>LimitLoadToSessionType</key>
<string>Background</string>
And either
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchAgents/edu.mit.kerberos.CCacheServer.plist
or reboot your system ;).
CCacheServer will then be instantiated when you do a kinit:
$ kinit
Please enter the password for vjt@DOMAIN.LOCAL:
$ klist
Kerberos 5 ticket cache: 'API:Initial default ccache'
Default principal: vjt@DOMAIN.LOCAL
Valid Starting Expires Service Principal
11/12/08 20:59:35 11/13/08 06:59:14 krbtgt/DOMAIN.LOCAL@DOMAIN.LOCAL
renew until 11/19/08 20:59:35
The bug is strange because the LimitLoadToSessionType
key actually should
instruct launchd to automatically start up the daemon and run it once for
every logged in
user
,
when kinit asks its services. But, if the key is set in the .plist
, a
launchctl load on it fails with “nothing found to load”. Weird!
