Ok. I was following the instructions for manually configuring a master 
KDC at:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4557/setup-1?l=en&a=view

Those lines are commented out because I've only gotten through step 6 
there, and step 7 is the one that is failing, and the instructions 
haven't mentioned putting them in yet. I put them in as comments because 
I have already read through all the directions first, and I put in (as 
comments) all the info I read I would eventually need. Now I'm going 
back and trying do the steps one by one, and I can't get #7 to work.

Ah HA! I missed step 6c. on my way back through the directions. Thanks!

I didn't think so either. and I just tried it again, and it doesn't. :)

That's what I had read in the docs, and why I had created the principals 
in lower case the first time.
It was only when the mixed case showed up in the error message that I 
tried the principal in mixed case to match the error message.

Oh. Ok. My apologies. Many (all?) of the other *-discuss at opensolaris.org 
lists (zfs-discuss, smf-discuss, cifs-discuss, xwin-discuss, etc.)  
field troubleshooting questions like these, so  it didn't occur to me 
that that wasn't allowed here.

Is there a good user-supported discussion list for kerberos usage and 
configuration questions?
