Kerberos Policies are for setting things like password expiration and 
complexity requirements on a large number of pricipals at once.  I'd 
suggest creating policies for normal users, "/admin" users, daemons and 
host keytabs.  Differences being you'd likely want non-expiring keytab 
and daemon user principals, maybe 10 hour / 7 day renew for normal 
users, and maybe no renewal on /admin creds.

You should also be sure that you are not putting AES enc_types into host 
keytabs.  That causes problems with compatibility with certain programs 
/ libs.  (Stick with des3-hmac-sha1:normal and rc4-hmac:normal for now.) 
And ideally DES shouldn't be used at all, except for the AFS service 
principal.  I'd also highly recomend turning on pre-auth to make it 
harder to grab arbitrary principals and attempting to crack them 
off-line.
