Do you have a srvtab on deimos? If not that's your problem.
"Can't decode authenticator" is the message you get when the server
application first tries to decrypt the incoming ticket. It occurs if
the application either
1) can't find its service key in /etc/srvtab (or whatever you
specify the srvtab path as when call krb_recv_auth or krb_rd_req.
2) uses the service key to decrypt the ticket/authentication
results in garbage.
Kerberos really should generate more meaningful error messages ...
