sendmail authdes_refresh message in syslog

2007-12-25 11:20:00

Greeting,

I received two replies, one from Eirh-Yu Hsie and

other from Demian Hanks.

Both suggest me using keylogin -r to get a new key.

I follow their advice, and it works fine.

Here is the summary:

SRDB ID: 18586

SYNOPSIS: sendmail authdes_refresh: keyserv(1m) is unable to encrypt

 session key

DETAIL DESCRIPTION:

Getting the error message below every 15 minutes on a new added NIS+ clients

sendmail authdes_refresh: keyserv(1m) is unable to encrypt

 session key

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

On the root master do the following commands:

         #nisaddcred -p unix.hostname@domain -P hostname.domain.name. des

         #nisping -C org_dir

         #nisping -C groups_dir

         #nisping -C domainname

         

On the nis+ client machine (machine getting the error) do

         #keylogin -r

Thanks all who replied to me.
