Comment 7 for bug 333460

Unfortunately no openldap-auth-config is found. I got openldap-utils
installed, if I look for commands starting with auth, I can find
auth-client-config, authtool and authtool-gtk.
Neither authtool nor authtool-gtk works though:

 $ sudo authtool
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise DebconfError(status, data)
debconf.DebconfError: (10, "krb5-config/default_realm doesn't exist")

$ gksu authtool-gtk
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt

reWarning: apt API not stable yet

I probably need to reinstall this machine... and probably switch to
Intrepid anyway.

Thanks for your help!
