Greetings,
Trying to get a Red Hat 5.8 server installed as a client to my Red Hat 6 server.
The first problem was at the install.
yum install ipa-client ipa-admintools
No ipa-admintools! The RHEL5 system is registered with Red Hat and I have searched the web.
But I went ahead with the installation and I have joined RHEL5 to the domain.
>From the command line.
kinit mdavidson will log in.klistTicket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0Default principal: mdavidson at EXAMPLE.COM
Looks good but I cannot setup ssh and ssh is essential.
I assume it’s because I cannot perform this part of the steps.
http://bit.ly/Ivxxwj : Procedure 1.5. To configure a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 IPA client for incoming SSH connections:The IPA client installation process configures the NTP service by default, but you should ensure that time on the IPA client and server is synchronized. If it is not, run the following commands on the IPA client:# service ntpd stop# ntpdate -s -p 8 -u ipaserver.example.com# service ntpd startNoteThe ntpdate command does not work if ntpd is running.Obtain a Kerberos ticket for the admin user.# kinit adminAdd a host service principal on the IPA client.# ipa-addservice host/ipaclient.example.com (My error is -bash: ipa: command not found)Retrieve the keytab.# ipa-getkeytab -s ipaserver.example.com -p host/ipaclient.example.com -k /etc/krb5.keytab (My error is -bash: ipa: command not found)

DNS works.ntpd is running.I checked all the configuration files.I have searched with no luck for ipa-admintools for Red Hat 5 and I’m sure this is why I cannot run the ipa commands in step 1.5.
What am I missing? Any thoughts or suggestions?
ThanksMatt
