/usr/kerberos/database/admin_acl.del on the kdc.

It's just another acl like the rest of the kadmin acls. It is
mentioned in the documentation.

As for the lists mentioned -- .klogin files, kadmin acl's, *anything*
that refers to a kerberos principal for access control. After all,
those are just strings, unaffected by the database change, and if you
ever reuse that name, the new entity gets all the leftover access the
old one did, if you haven't cleaned it up...

   admin:  del test
   Admin password:
   When you delete an entry, be sure to take it off of any access control lists
   as well. Be sure that you really intend to delete the Kerberos database
   entry for test.
   If you do, type y and press return: y
   kadm error: Insufficient access to perform requested operation

   so 2 questions:

   1) why don't i have sufficient access

   2) what access control lists is the warning message referring to?
