1.5.2 is quite old and, IIRC, I've seen this before. You can work around it by adding the kdc name with a dot at the end as an alias in the hosts file. So, if your kdc is kdc1.example.com, then your /etc/hosts line should look like this: 1.2.3.4 kdc1.example.com kdc1.example.com. kdc1 or something quite like that. -- Roland C. Dowdeswell
