Cannot start the krb5kdc

[Daniel Savard]

I am having a problem starting the KDC with MIT-Kerberos 5. The
problem occured after an upgrade of some software on the server.

The error message is: 

feynman krb5kdc # /etc/init.d/mit-krb5kdc start
 * Starting MIT Kerberos 5 KDC ...
krb5kdc: cannot initialize realm CIDS.CA - see log file for details
 * Error starting MIT Kerberos 5 KDC                                      [ !! ]

Then, looking at the log:

krb5kdc: Invalid argument - while setting database name to
/etc/krb5kdc/principal for realm CIDS.CA


I am running a Gentoo/Linux distro on this server.

Any hints?
