I ran into the same document and went through 
this a while ago. It works for the Windows server
but not for the Windows workstations. As you stated,
the server has two realms (the AD one, and the
Kerberos one) and the logins do work as you 
described.

On the workstations there are _three_ domains
(one AD, one Kerberos, one local ws). I'm trying to
tie the first and second together without creating
a shadow account in the third and log in using the
kerberos domain password.

It sounds like Sam has it working but I'm very
curious to see what "ksetup" outputs on his
workstation.
