as Benjamin pionted out, if your LDAP Backend is master/slave, the on
the slave location the Kerberos Server is also a slave, as changes can't
be done there (not replicated back).

So your kadmin server can only be on the "Master Site", no "kadmin" to
the slave server is possible. If your Master Server is not reachable
kadmin (and password changes) cannot be done until the connection is
online again.

regards, Robert.
