[Freeipa-users] Kerberos authentication failed: kinit: Included profile directory could not be read while initializing Kerberos 5 library

[Alan Latteri]

Well on new installs of Cent 7.2, when I do `yum install ipa-client`, that is the version provided.
Unfortunately, most of our systems have to be on Cent 7.2, not 7.3, and it is out of our control.
