Yep -- I had this problem too, but I managed to solve it with a
bit of digging about on the Web.  Try having a poke around :
http://ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu/~tkslen/kerberos.html, there's
a very well written installation guide that supplements the
Kerberos 5b5 documentation.

Basically you'll need to create server principals for each host,
and each service.  The above documentation will give step-by-step
instructions.

Cheers.
