broken pipe

[N. Leenders]

Hi,
I'm attempting to set up a slave kdc, but am getting a broken pipe
message:

kprop -f /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans nickerberos2.nic.ualberta.ca
Broken pipe


I'm installing on redhat 9 machines.

The slave_datatrans file exists.

I've gone back over the instructions, tried a number of things, and am not
seeing what I might have missed.

The end of strace output follows, in case it is useful:

Any ideas what to check?
