  I am trying to use fetch 4.0 with MIT Kerberos 3.5fc3. I am able to attach to Kerberized systems with BetterTelnet 2.0fc1. Every time I try to logon to a Kerberized system with fetch 4.0 I get the error "Bad preferences file configuration-1015" Any ideas?

  Does any error message appear in the Fetch Transcript window? You may want to post this question, and the contents of your Kerberos Preferences file, to the krbdev@mit.edu mailing list.

  I'm having a similar problem with MIT Kerberos 4.0a18 (I think that's the version):
  Bad preferences file configuration-1015

  Contents of Fetch Transcript window:
  System Version = 0x860
  Connecting to hepnrc.hep.net port 4001 (9/15/2001 4:34:37 PM)
  220 hepnrc FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
  ADAT
  503 Must identify AUTH type before ADAT
  AUTH KERBEROS_V4
  334 Using authentication type KERBEROS_V4; ADAT must follow

  Taking the error message at face value, I wonder whether there's a configuration problem with your Kerberos preferences file. Can you get tickets for other services?

  BetterTelnet connections with Kerberos are working fine.

  I agree that the problem is likely in the Kerberos Preferences but I have no clue as to what is wrong that Fetch has problems with but BetterTelnet does not. I will post my Kerberos Preferences here for comment by anyone once I get home tonight and back on my Macintosh.

  As promised, here is my Kerberos Prerferences file for your examination
  and critique:

  [libdefaults]
  default_realm = FNAL.GOV
  ticket_lifetime =1560
  checksum_type = 1
  ccache_type = 2
  default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-crc
  default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-crc
  noaddresses = true

  [realms]
  FNAL.GOV = {
  kdc = krb-fnal-1.fnal.gov:88
  kdc = krb-fnal-2.fnal.gov:88
  kdc = krb-fnal-3.fnal.gov:88
  kdc = krb-fnal-4.fnal.gov:88
  kdc = krb-fnal-5.fnal.gov:88
  admin_server = krb-fnal-admin.fnal.gov
  default_domain = fnal.gov
  auth_to_local = RULE:[1:$1@$0](.*@PILOT.FNAL.GOV)s/@.*//
  auth_to_local = DEFAULT
  }
  PILOT.FNAL.GOV = {
  kdc = krb-pilot-1.fnal.gov:88
  kdc = krb-pilot-3.fnal.gov:88
  kdc = krb-pilot-4.fnal.gov:88
  kdc = krb-pilot-5.fnal.gov:88
  admin_server = krb-pilot-admin.fnal.gov
  default_domain = fnal.gov
  auth_to_local = RULE:[1:$1@$0](.*@FNAL.GOV)s/@.*//
  auth_to_local = DEFAULT
  }
  WIN.FNAL.GOV = {
  kdc = newpckits.fnal.gov:88
  admin_server = newpckits.fnal.gov
  default_domain = fnal.gov
  }

  [domain_realm]
  .fnal.gov = FNAL.GOV
  .hep.net = FNAL.GOV
  .minos-soudan.org = FNAL.GOV

  I don't see anything in the configuration file about a Kerberos 4 realm, but it looks like you are selecting KClient (a Kerberos 4 API) as the security system to use in Fetch. Does it work if you choose GSS?

  Thanks,

  Our realm is a Kerberos 5 realm. I have not been able to add K4 definitions to the configuration file w/o breaking Kerberos on my Mac - which leads to my being unable to get a ticket.

  I tried choosing GSS. I get an error -30018 now. The final contents of the transcript window are below. Some other messages appeared before this but I was not able to catch them:

  535-GSSAPI error major: Miscellaneous failure
  535-GSSAPI error minor: Wrong principal in request
  535 GSSAPI error: accepting context

  535-GSSAPI error major: Incorrect channel bindings were supplied
  535-GSSAPI error minor: No error
  535 GSSAPI error: accepting context

  I'm afraid I'm getting out of my Kerberos depth. I would recommend sending a note to krbdev@mit.edu with the transcript and the preferences file.

  Thanks,

  So my question is...

  Is this really a problem in Fetch? If so, is there a fix available?

  Alternatively, does anyone know how I might modify the configuration of my Linksys router (4-port Cable/DSL modem) to work around this problem?

  Those errors are usually indicative of trying to use Fetch behind a
  NAT. That configuration is currently not supported by Fetch.

  Any further questions about Fetch really should go through the
  channels at <http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/>

  That's right, it's something that needs to be fixed in Fetch. I hope to do that for the next release.

  In the meantime the only workaround I can think of is to connect directly to the Internet, not via the Linksys router. But I can understand how that might not be feasible.

  Thanks,

  I'll be looking forward to the next version of Fetch...

  Trying Fetch with Kerberos 4.0a19 on MacOS X.1, I'm getting exactly the same error (-30018) as the previous poster (nagy), but I'm definitely NOT behind a firewall, no NAT etc involved (the "wrong principal" error is also mysterious, nagy had the same thing. BetterTelnet works!).

  Here is my transcript:
