Can't login via krb5 with "User not known to the underlying authentication module" error

I am on a Suse 11.3 installation which itself runs the kdc for
testing. There is a local account test001, for which I added a
principal via kadmin's ank sub command, i.e. 'ank test001'.

Now if I wish to log in I can't do it, and see the following error in
/var/log/messages:

Mar 15 02:29:06 nexentapuzzle login[3531]: User not known to the
underlying authentication module

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Should I do another kadmin
command to setup a user, beyond the "ank" sub command?

PS: yast option "Ignore Unknown Users" in "Advanced Kerberos Client
Configuration" is "OFF", but if I toggle it to "ON" the problem
disappears, but I think this might be wrong, or not?
