Kerberos auth problems with python-kerberos from Red Hat

      We've had a number of reports of - and reproduced locally - problems doing GSSAPI authentication on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora machines using the python-kerberos package available from yum.

      These problems don't exist using the python-kerberos package in Ubuntu, so this appears to be a Red Hat specific issue.

      The workaround is uninstall the python-kerberos package and install pykerberos from pypi using easy_install:

      $ sudo easy_install kerberos
      

      or pip:

      $ sudo pip install kerberos
