10.1 Starting the Services

The Server stops functioning, with the error message "File Size Exceeded"

Possible Cause: The log file size cannot exceed 2 GB.
Action: To restart KDC, delete the log file manually. To avoid this situation, we recommend that you back up and delete the log file on a regular basis.

The Server fails to start, with the error message “master key read failed : [-603] - while fetching master key K/M for realm”

Possible Cause: The Service object is not assigned rights to the realm container.
Action: Modify the realm or service by specifying that the corresponding Service object pertains to this realm as follows:

kdb5_ldap_util -D cn=admin,o=org modify_service -realm ATHENA.MIT.EDU cn=service-kdc,o=org
