My kadmind.acl is not tuned at all, I've just given full power to the users listed using different forms for testing as this is not a production environment yet.
According to the manual: * is the same as x x is a short for admcilsp. All privileges (except e) vaxx...@bla.net * vaxx...@bla.net e vaxxxxx/ad...@bla.net admcilsp root/ad...@bla.net admcilsp root/ad...@bla.net e root/ad...@bla.net * I realized that I've specified erroneously root/admin with literally most of the permissions duplicated. It is certainly an ugly mistake, "debris" forgotten due to the huge amont of tests I did on this KDC. Nevertheless I would expect some complaining in the log files instead of a daemon to die. Anyway, looking forward for the patch. I'm glad I've helped the project somehow. Thanks a lot for your time and responsiveness.
