Hi all,
I would like some information on how to set-up a small network of kerberos
server and clients. I am planning to build secure network using Kerberos as
a part of my Master's project. I have searched web and found nothing but
topics related to some big institutions and companies where I will be
needing their information.
Is it possible to build a Kerberos KDC and realm for my own small network?
If it is possible then please explain how should I proceed. Thank you.

Have a nice day,
Dev

(for a debian distro)
on the machine you want to be the kdc
apt-get install krb5-admin-server

add some principals with kadmin.local

on a client
apt-get install krb5-user

and the authenticate with kinit.

done.
