Possible first step:  Check that you have a /kerberos.  It could be that
your distribution is compiled for a different location.  Look in
kerberos/obj/include/krb_db.h for the string DBM_FILE.  This is the
file prefix for the database.

mine is:	/kerberos/principal
which means the kerberos database files principal.pag, .dir & .ok
will be created in /kerberos.

Also check in krb.h to see what directories are set there.

As soon as you mention something, if it's good, it goes away ... if it's bad,
 it happens.
