hi Jeffrey,
Thanks for your reply i will go over the doc but i got one question.
Why am i getting the following error prompt?
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm while getting
initial credentials
I never faced such an error before formatting the machine
Can you please give me some clues?
Thanks.

I suggest you read the installation guide, user guide, and admin guide
from the distribution:
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.6/#documentation
What the kdb5_util create command does is create a Kerberos Database for
the purpose of establishing a new Kerberos realm This database is the
back-end for the Key Distribution Center. This is the Kerberos service
that authenticates users and issues tickets for accessing services.
A credential cache is not located on the KDC. A credential cache is
located on the client machine and is created only after a user performs
an initial authentication against the KDC and receives back a Ticket
Granting Ticket.
