Thanks, Bob, but none of those suggestions worked.  I even took
the time to systematically add all options to both the krb5.conf
and kdc.conf files to see what it was missing, and kadmind is
still complaining.

The only thing I can figure now is that there's some special
option required based on some lib I have loaded.  For example, if
I remove the MD5 encryption types from kdc.conf, it complains
that it cannot set GSS-API authentication names.  The Kerberos
related libs I have loaded include:
- libsasl2
- libsasl2-gssapi-mit
- libkadm55
- libkrb53

Does this info spark any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
