service_name ????

I've been asked to integrate Kerberos (via the GSS-API) into an application.
Poking around the MIT Kerberos distribution I found
/athena/auth/krb5/src/appl/gss-sample. It wants a service name. What's a
service name? I presume it's referring to ftp, telnet, etc. What's the
syntax? Does the Kerberos server need to be configured for these services
before the sample will work?
Regardless of what I use I get the following error message:
GSS-API error acquiring credentials: Miscellaneous failure
GSS-API error acquiring credentials: No such file or directory
It appears as if the GSS-API call generally maps to the Kerberos
gss_acquire_cred() API. My test program passes null for the 8th parameter
(service_name) and it works fine. What gives?
retval = krb5_get_init_creds_password(context, &creds, client, "testpass",
NULL, 0, opts.starttime, opts.service_name, &options);
Many thanks in advance,
