The contents of your configuration file appear to be correct. The
location of your configuration file is, however, incorrect. Check the
header file under the kerberos source tree
(krb5/src/include/krb5/stock/osconf.h) Check to see what
DEFAULT_PROFILE_FILENAME points to. I believe it defaults to
/etc/krb5.conf if I am not mistaken. This is where your configuration
file should be located.
