You got it from the syslog message: it said "unauthorized."  That

krb5 uses a real acl file to determine what machines can send kprops,
instead of overloading the hostname (as MIT V4 did) or the admin
server line in krb.conf (as CNS V4 did.) It should be in the kpropd
docs, but basically $(prefix)/lib/krb5kdc/kpropd.acl needs to list the
principals (host/hostname@REALM) that can perform kprops...
