KRB5 1.4 vs. KRB5 1.3.6 on AIX 5.2

[Lamar.Saxon@americredit.com]

I was hoping someone might be able to help me fix an issue I have
encountered.

I tested KRB5 1.3.6 on AIX 5.2 using C for AIX and the installed make.
Created a krb5.conf and krb5.keytab to talk to a Windows 2k AD Domain
Controller.  Had no issues, connected and received tickets fine.

I recently installed KRB5 1.4 on the same machine after removing the
1.3.6 footprint.  I encountered an issue seen by others with the error:

"Syntax error at line 1 : `(' is not matched"

when using AIX's make; but it seems to work fine using GNU Make.

After compiling and doing a make install, I consistently receive the
following message when using kinit while using the same keytab and
configuration as 1.3.6:

"Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm while getting
initial credentials"

Is there a significant change to krb5.conf between 1.3.6 and 1.4 ?  The
binaries seem to work fine; but it does not look like it is even looking
at the krb5.conf file.  I can change the name or move it and the message
stays the same.  I have tried disabling DNS for realm and kdc; put
master_kdc in the entries; but still does not even act like it is
looking at this file.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
