Where can I find how-to advice on setting up a local KDC?

[Jeffrey Altman]

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.
