I'm not quite sure but it probably means that postgresql was not built with kerberos 5 support.
That would make sense if you are using a binary install (did not compile from source), because of the notice at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#KERBEROS-AUTH
"Note: Native Kerberos authentication has been deprecated and should be used only for backward compatibility. New and upgraded installations are encouraged to use the industry-standard GSSAPI authentication method (see Section 19.3.3) instead."

Hi Guys,
I tried to setup kerberos authentication with postgresql 8.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.10.
When I use:
$ psql –h ubuntu.server –U gavin dbname
I get following error:
psql: Kerberos 5 authentication not supported.
And from the server side of postgresql, I could see following log:

What does this means and how could I get more verbose logs?
Besides, is there any more howto/doc on integrate kerberos and postgresql besides the official documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/client-authentication.html?
Thanks very much in advance!
Regards,
Yandong
