We have someone interested in solving this issue.  Do you think it would 
be sufficient to add an inetd option to krb5kdc?

Because we serve over UDP and TCP, and because correctly implementing a 
UDP server in the Unix socket interface is more difficult than it should 
be, our server network loop is very complicated.  Deferring this issue to 
inetd would have a small UI footprint and would add a small amount of 
additional complexity.  Adding specific address configuration would have a 
larger UI footprint and a larger increase in complexity, I expect.  But 
it's something we could still consider.
