Before Installing The Kerberos Server

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

Disable all the network services, such as ftp, telnet, rlogin, finger et all, by restricting access to the machine. You can do this, by changing the /etc/inetd.conf file to deactivate the non-kerberized services. The inetd daemon must be restarted after these changes have been made.

Also, ensure that the file system is protected with proper permissions in order to restrict the non-root users from accessing and manipulating the Kerberos Server maintained files, such as cache files, stash files et all.

Ensure that you have the HP-UX 11i installed on your system. You can check the version of the HP-UX operating system by using the uname -r command.
