kprop: Software caused connection abort while reading response from server

[Jeff Blaine]

Onto the next problem:

[ This guy never got responded to in public that I can see:    ]

kdc% sudo sbin/kprop -f /var/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans kdc2.foo.com
sbin/kprop: Software caused connection abort while reading response from 
server
kdc%

Leaves me with this on the following on the slave KDC (kdc2)
and the inability to use 'kdb5_util stash' due to 'no such
file or directory' because principal.ok does not exist
(according to truss).

kdc2# pwd
/var/krb5kdc
kdc2# ls -lart
total 998
-rw-------   1 root     root         151 Apr 23 14:12 kpropd.acl

kdc2#

Any ideas?
