Sam_Kerberos_Rcp Package

sam_kerberos_rcp is a wrapper around kerberized rcp, specifically for use with the special 'sam' principals in the FNAL.GOV domain. Note that kerberos rcp command itself may be wrapped using fcp (or similar product) which keeps control over the total number of incoming or outgoing rcp file transfers.

Your system administrator must request the creation of special sam/d0/<node.domain>@FNAL.GOV principals
Your system administrator must create special keytab files (typically, /var/adm/krb5/sam_keytab).

sam account must be able to successfully obtain tickets using

      $ kinit -k -t </path/to/sam_keytab> sam/d0/<node.domain>@FNAL.GOV

Once these steps are complete, install and tailor via:

      $ setup upd
      $ upd install -G -c sam_kerberos_rcp
      $ ups tailor sam_kerberos_rcp

New in v4_0_8: as user sam, you can now use the utility

    $ setup sam_kerberos_rcp
    $ sam_kinit.sh

in order to authenticate, even if you do not need to rcp any files. (For example, if you need to authenticate in order to update a cvs package, etc.).
