I have installed Kerberos 4 on an SGI Indy, thanks to the excellent
K4 version available from Cygnus.  Everything is fine, except I 
couldn't delete any principals.  I searched the documentation and
couldn't find anything special about deleting, and I figured that
deleting was a special case of modifying (based on traditional
database criteria) and so I checked and rechecked my admin_acl.mod
file.  It all looked right, but still didn't work.

Then I took my last resort: grepping the source.  Lo and behold,
there are references to admin_acl.del!  Hmmm, I said to myself.
So I copied my admin_acl.mod file to my admin_acl.del file and
kadmin suddenly let me delete a principal.

Is this an omission in the documentation, or have I missed 
somehthing?
