History

VTLUUG has been was Kerberos and LDAP for authentication until the CVL eviction. We then migrated to an LDAP only domain due to a lack of IPv6 on behind router.ece.vt.edu. The old Kerberos server was configured to work on IPv6 only, therefore, we were required to migrate away from its use for authentication.

With the old deployment, acidburn should be acceptable through normal password authentication over ssh. There is no need to configure tickets or anything else Kerberos related.
