Problems with kpropd

My first guess is that the slave KDC doesn't have a host/ entry in the 
principal database (and in it's krb5.keytab).  Check your kerberos logs 
and see if you're getting a client not found error for 
host/rapanui.ph.ic.ac.uk

Other common propagation problems come from missing entries in kpropd.acl, 
the kpropd service not running on the slave, or the port being blocked 
with TCPwrappers or iptables
