Yes, that's right.

Once the KDC is up and running, you should be able to run kinit on
either M1 (assuming you installed and configured the client code as
well as the KDC) or M2.

Don't know.

If you're building the source tree from the MIT site, "make install"
will install clients, application servers, and KDC servers. It's
simplest just to install everything and ignore the KDC binaries on the
non-KDC machines.
(Depending on the Linux distribution you are using, there may already
be packages available with the distribution for the MIT Kerberos
clients and servers. But then you don't get the experience of working
with the MIT source tree, which would help when you move on to porting
to pSOS.)

P.S. You probably don't need to use both lists for this. Basic
questions with setting up Kerberos are appropriate for the Kerberos
mailing list, but when you get into porting issues, krbdev is probably
better.
