    Following the krb5-beta7/doc/krb5-install.info-1 install guide, things run
    smoothly to this point;
 
    "Create a kadmind Keytab" -- in install doc
    "shell% /usr/krb5/sbin/kadmin"
 
    at which point I get;
 
    [root@gabe sbin]# kadmin
    kadmin: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm while initializing
 
 Hi there; our apologies for not getting back to you until now.  We were
 busy getting the 1.0 release out.  This was a bug in the documentation,
 which was fixed in the 1.0 release; you need to use kadmin.local instead
 of kadmin.

krb5-beta7 from athena-dist.mit.edu /pub/athena/kerberos/dist/blah

Following the krb5-beta7/doc/krb5-install.info-1 install guide, things run
smoothly to this point;

"Create a kadmind Keytab" -- in install doc
"shell% /usr/krb5/sbin/kadmin"

at which point I get;

[root@gabe sbin]# kadmin
kadmin: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm while initializing

assuming that using kadmin before starting the daemon's was an error in
the documentation, I attempted to start krb5kdc and kadmind.  krb5kdc runs
and stays resident, kadmind bombs out with;

[root@gabe sbin]# kadmind
kadmind: Cannot initialize GSS-API authentication.

So, seeing as creating the keytab file with kadmin was out of the
question, I made one with kadmin.local.  I don't know if it worked right,
but a file was created in the proper path. (admin_keytab =
FILE:/usr/local/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab in kdc.conf) 
This did not solve the above error in starting kadmind.

I would appreciate any advice concerning this matter, please ask any
questions needed. *slams head into keyboard*
