Thank you for your quick reply. I really appreciate it.
You will have to forgive me. I am new to using AFS and I'm learning as I go.
I ran kadmin locally on the server as root and go this:
[root@##### bin]# kadmin
Authenticating as principal root/admin@EXAMPLE.COM with password.
kadmin: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm while
initializing kadmin interface
Again sorry for being a newbie. Did I need to include more in my command?
