Can you be more specific about what symptoms you're seeing?

You don't say what versions of the modules you're using. Are you using
Authen::Krb5 1.4 and Authen::Krb5::Admin 0.07?
If you are using Authen::Krb5 1.4, do things work better if you apply
this patch, rebuild Authen::Krb5, and reinstall?:

I ask because when I updated from krb5 1.2.8 to 1.4, I encountered a
problem with krb5_init_ets not being part of the libkrb shared library,
even though the ABI of the library had not changed from what 1.2.8 used.
