The problem with the kerberos administration server and the changepw server
is, that they have to run on the same machine as the kerberos master.
But for compiling the respective programs there is a separate header file
being used, i.e. include/kadm.h , in which the instance of the service, that
is the host name, is explicitely set to "kerberos". If you change the
definition of KADM_SINST in include.kadm.h accordingly:

/* the lookups for the server instances */
#define PWSERV_NAME  "changepw"
#define KADM_SNAME   "kerberos_master"
#define KADM_SINST   KRB_MASTER

and not just:

#define KADM_SINST   "kerberos"

these services will be found on the master server machine, no matter what
name you gave it in include/krb.h !
