This error message is incorrect. Every time I've seen this error, it's
actually been a missing parameter in the *krb5.conf* file, not in
kdc.conf.
Make sure your krb5.conf contains a section for your realm that specifies
the name of the admin server for that realm. E.g.,
[realm]
FOO.BAR = {
admin_server = kerberos.foo.bar
}
I've found that I have to do this locally even if I have all SRV records
in place. Either there's something wrong with the SRV record I'm using,
or the kadmin from MIT KRB5 1.2.3 doesn't check SRV records.
