That's not what the administrator's guide was trying to say.  You should
have a subsection in dbmodules corresponding to the database_module
directive in your realm definition.  For example:

    [realms]
        KRBTEST.COM = {
            ...
            database_module = db2-krbtest
            ...
        }

    [dbmodules]
        db2-krbtest = {
            disable_last_success = true
            database_name = /path/to/...
            ...
        }

That's a bug.  I'll change either the code or the documentation after
looking at the situation a little more.
