Are the SLES12 rckadmind and rckrb5kdc commands now deprecated?

[#1]

Hello team,

The documentation for KDC installation on HDP-2.5.3 includes instructions for SLES12 which suggests using:

rckrb5kdc start 
rckadmind start 
chkconfig rckrb5kdc on 
chkconfig rckadmind on

However, SLES 12.1 does not have the required rckrb5kdc.service or rckadmind.service files required to enable systemd to process the chkconfig commands above. It does however have kadmind.service and krb5kdc.service allowing me to run:

chkconfig krb5kdc on 
chkconfig kadmind on

However now I wonder if rckrb5kdc and rckadmind are now deprecated? Thoughts?

The document needs to be updated. As per SLES 12 official doc:

Starting the KDC

Start the KDC daemon and the kadmin daemon. To start the daemons manually, enter:

sudo systemctl start krb5kdc
sudo systemctl start kadmind

Also make sure that the services KDC (krb5kdc) and kadmind (kadmind) are started by default when the server machine is rebooted. Enable them by entering:

sudo systemctl enable krb5kdc kadmind
