The KDC code will exit if it doesn't manage to set up any sockets  
during startup.  However, it should always be able to set up the  
routing socket (unless maybe some OS doesn't support it), so it should  
have at least that one socket lying around.  Then you reconfigure the  
network by bringing up some non-loopback interface, it wakes up and  
rescans the interfaces.
