And the kdc log /var/log/krb5/krb5kdc.log gives me this error:

Mar 15 03:06:50 nexentapuzzle krb5kdc[3003](info): AS_REQ (7 etypes
{18 17 16 23 1 3 2}) 192.168.2.98: CLIENT_NOT_FOUND:
test001 at NEXENTAPUZZLE.NRUBSIG.ORG for
krbtgt/NEXENTAPUZZLE.NRUBSIG.ORG at NEXENTAPUZZLE.NRUBSIG.ORG, Client not
found in Kerberos database

What does that mean?
