Unfortunately several things can cause this error in 1.11.  (In 1.13 we
try harder to disambiguate.)  Information which might help:

* What do "hostname" and "hostname -f" say on each host?

* What OS are these hosts running?

* What server application are you getting the error from?  If it's a
custom application, what name was imported to create the
verifier_cred_handle argument of gss_accept_sec_context?

* Did you recently re-key one of the hosts without retaining the old
keytab?  (If so, run kinit again on the client to flush any old service
tickets.)
