Chris said that he thought the domain controller approach would be a bad
idea. I agree. A domain controller will require too much memory compared
to a bare bones linux install running just the KDC service.
Make sure you NAT the VM and add the appropriate entries to your krb5.ini
and hosts files for name resolution.
