The domain_realm section of my krb5.conf looks like this:
[domain_realm]
    .ad.engr.uconn.edu   = AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU
    ad.engr.uconn.edu    = AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU

AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU should be my kerberos realm.

Perhaps the fact that I have a different domain (for NIS) in 
/etc/domainname creates a problem?

That's good.  I am not sure why it cannot figure out the realm though.  
In fact, if I just
type "kinit username" it prompts me for the password for 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Perhaps it would be worthwhile to try identical steps in Debian Sarge?
(I'm not really sure how stable Ubuntu is, but I like that all my 
hardware works in it with no fighting!)
