Nope not touched kadmin.local. Thanks for the help so far.

Thanks for the pointer - I'd already read that when I configured NFS -
that part's all working. Authentication from a 'manual' session is no
problem. I can just type in the password for the backup user. The
problem is with automated authentication, I need to get a ticket
without a password. The Kerberos equivalent of an SSH keypair.

Thanks,

Dan
