No, I'm actually thinking of:
* an API change to take the principal
* A change to generate the right principal in each client application.
* A dependence on a gethostname/gethostbyname pair in each application.
* A change to generate the kadmin key for the current hostname in
kdb5_util create.
Will have the rest of the discussion on krbdev.
