1) Make sure that gethostbyaddr() on the machines on which you want to run
Kerberos returns a fully qualified domain name.

2) Make sure that the host names in the second components of all host/*
principals are fully qualified.  E.g., if the full host name is
macondo.gcm.com, then the principal should be host/macondo.gcm.com@gcm.com,
not host/macondo@gcm.com.

Incidentally, you probably want to make your realm name all upper-case, i.e.,
"GCM.COM", not "gcm.com".
