I recently sent a message about problems that I was having using keytab
files after an upgrade from 1.0.6 to 1.2.2.

Since I haven't been able to resolve it, I was considering using a 
password with kadmin functions instead of a keytab file, i.e.

   kadmin -p aisadmin -w xxxxxxxx -q 'listprincs "*/ais@MALLORN.COM"'

This used to work under 1.0.6, but now I get the error

   get_principals: Operation requires ``list'' privilege while retrieving list.

However, the kadm5.acl file gives list privileges to the aisadmin user:

   aisadmin@MALLORN.COM admcil */ais@MALLORN.COM

If I remove the specific instance and give aisadmin all access (i.e.

   aisadmin@MALLORN.COM admcil

or

   aisadmin@MALLORN.COM * *

), things work fine (but I don't want to give aisadmin that much power).
Has something changed in 1.2.2 so that instances can't be specified on
the right-hand side? doc/krb5-admin.info-2 seems to indicate that it's
still possible.

Thanks for any help,

Chris
