This error tends to happen pretty frequently in practice. Usually
it's due to a config file mess-up and the code's trying to access a
non-existent realm. It sounds like it's a network problem though.
I suggest you include the intended realm in the message. I think
that would get people pointed at the real problem more directly.
Something like:
kinit(v5): Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm [REALM]
while getting initial credentials
