DomTool source code is, at places, HCoop and OpenAFS-specific. Here's a documented procedure for setting up DomTool on non-HCoop machines and without using AFS.

1. Set up /etc/domtool (or specifically, the SSL CA in there) according to DomTool/SslProcedures

2. Build and install the DomTool suite as explained in DomTool/Building and DomTool/Installation. (When creating user 'domtool', you can choose /home/domtool as the home directory)

3. Edit /etc/init.d/domtool-* to replace shebang line /usr/bin/pagsh.openafs with /bin/sh (or /bin/bash), and replace "/usr/bin/k5start" with "/usr/local/bin/k5start"
4. Edit /usr/local/bin/domtool-admin-sudo to replace shebang line /usr/bin/pagsh.openafs with /bin/sh (or /bin/bash), and to comment the kinit and aklog lines
5. Create /usr/local/bin/k5start with the following content and chmod 755 it (remove "\" at the beginning):

\#!/bin/sh
# This counts on BASH_ARGV being a stack (bash v3.0+)
${BASH_ARGV[0]}
