Prerequisites

You have installed HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 operating system on your system. To check the version of the HP-UX operating system, run the uname -r command at the HP-UX prompt.

The Kerberos server is installed on a system that is physically secure and has restricted access to it. If necessary, verify that the system on which you install the Kerberos server is kept under lock and key.

All the network services, such as ftp, telnet, rlogin, and finger, are disabled by restricting access to the machine. Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file to deactivate the non-kerberos services. Restart the inetd daemon after you modifying the /etc/inetd.conf file.

The file system is protected with proper permissions in order to restrict the non root users from accessing and manipulating the files maintained by the Kerberos server, such as cache files and stash files.
