|---|---|---|
| kprop database dump file | LOCALSTATEDIR/krb5kdc/replica_datatrans |
|
| kpropd temporary dump file | LOCALSTATEDIR/krb5kdc/from_master |
|

|
| kprop location | SBINDIR/kprop |
|
| kpropd ACL file | LOCALSTATEDIR/krb5kdc/kpropd.acl |
|
| kprop port | 754 | KPROP_PORT |
Default paths for Unix-like systems¶
On Unix-like systems, some paths used by MIT krb5 depend on parameters
chosen at build time. For a custom build, these paths default to
subdirectories of /usr/local. When MIT krb5 is integrated into an
operating system, the paths are generally chosen to match the
operating system’s filesystem layout.
| Description | Symbolic name | Custom build path | Typical OS path |
|---|---|---|---|
| User programs | BINDIR | /usr/local/bin |
/usr/bin |
| Libraries and plugins | LIBDIR | /usr/local/lib |
/usr/lib |
| Parent of KDC state dir | LOCALSTATEDIR | /usr/local/var |
/var |
| Parent of KDC runtime dir | RUNSTATEDIR | /usr/local/var/run |
/run |
| Administrative programs | SBINDIR | /usr/local/sbin |
/usr/sbin |
| Alternate krb5.conf dir | SYSCONFDIR | /usr/local/etc |
/etc |
| Default ccache name | DEFCCNAME | FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_%{uid} |
FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_%{uid} |
| Default keytab name | DEFKTNAME | FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab |
FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab |
The default client keytab name (DEFCKTNAME) typically defaults to
FILE:/usr/local/var/krb5/user/%{euid}/client.keytab for a custom
build. A native build will typically use a path which will vary
according to the operating system’s layout of /var.
