Adding local users / passwords on Kerberized Linux box

Temporarily tune via pam-auth-update command

  1. You can temporarily deactivate Kerberos with the pam-auth-update. So that it looks like this:
    [ ] Kerberos authentication
  2. You can then add users/change passwords.
  3. And then reactivate Kerberos with pam-auth-update when you are done. So that it looks like this:
    [*] Kerberos authentication
