It could also be that the client host doesn't have a
host/hostname at REALM principal setup in the KDC. Either its missing,
or the DNS mapping of the IP address doesn't match the principal
name. Checking the KDC logs should show this up.
.. and don't forget that this host principal need to be dumped to a key
file and installed on the client system as /etc/krb5.keytab.
