Hi.  Someone (perhaps me) will probably answer this query later.  Please
drop krb5-bugs from the CC line, because this is not a bug report.  We
might need to improve our documentation, but I prefer to have a good
proposal of specific changes before opening a bug report about it.

I have check these two commands' file permission, they are the same, and even I move kadmin to the same folder as kadmin.local, kadmin still cann't add host principal, the error message said "add_principal: Operation requires ``add'' privilege while creating "host/master.example.com at MASTER.EXAMPLE.COM"".

And because I could not get correct answers by google or by baidu, so I have to write to you.
