NIM is only in KfW, right?  As in, you are working on Windows?

I'd suggest using Virtual PC and running some non-Windows OS and just 
follow the normal instructions.  Otherwise, you could install a server 
version of Windows and run a domain controller on your laptop, but I 
would not suggest that.  Ask on #kerberos on Freenode IRC if you'd like 
help with a KDC install.

However, wouldn't the KDC being on your local computer also affect 
timing?  (As in, wouldn't it be really fast and not a real world 
experience?)
