Each time krb5 is started, I get:
----
Starting Kerberos administrative server kadmindkadmind: Cannot open
/var/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl: No such file or directory while
initializing ACL file, aborting
----
The kadamind daemon is therefore not started.

There are several possibilities if we not want to configure acl's:

a) add acl_file = "" under the <EXAMPLE.ORG> realm in /etc/krb5.conf
   This has two drawbacks: (i) the 'acl_file =' should be present
   only on the kdc host, while an user might copy krb5.conf to a
   client host. (ii) if an user later creates an acl file, he/she
   may wonder why it is not taken into account.
b) create a file /var/lib/krb5kdc/kdc.conf, containing:
[realms]
    <EXAMPLE.ORG> = {
        acl_file = ""
    }
   Drawback: new file. But normally kdc.conf is only present on the KDC
   host.
c) create an empty /var/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
   Advantage: this file can be augmented later. But needs an
explanation in the book

I think I'd slightly prefer c).
