Trying to run "kadmin":
---
[fis:~] jablko% kadmin -p admin -r RUZ.LAT
Authenticating as principal admin with password.
Password for admin at LAT:
kadmin: GSS-API (or Kerberos) error while initializing kadmin interface
---
And on the admin server:
---
Apr  3 23:57:24 wum kadmind[18547]: Authentication attempt failed: 
192.168.179.43, GSS-API error strings are:
Apr  3 23:57:24 wum kadmind[18547]:     Miscellaneous failure
Apr  3 23:57:24 wum kadmind[18547]:     Wrong principal in request
Apr  3 23:57:24 wum kadmind[18547]:    GSS-API error strings complete.
---
Everything else works - including cross realm authentication. 
"krb5.conf" should be fine since the admin server, "wum", reacts to the 
connection. I've double checked DNS: Forwards and reverse work fine on 
client & server. "kadm5.acl" on the admin server contains:
---
admin	*
---
What does this error mean?

Thanks!
