# kpasswd brocka@SCGROUP.ORG
Password for brocka@SCGROUP.ORG:
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
Password changed.

It works for the @SCGROUP.ORG domain (the initial realm). Here is the
results of the same with the @STERLINGCGI.COM realm:

# kpasswd brocka@STERLINGCGI.COM
Password for brocka@STERLINGCGI.COM:
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
Authentication error: Failed reading application request
#

No, the entire network is on a single, private IP address range. In fact,
I'm trying these particular commands on the same host that kadmind is
running on. However, the behavior is identical from a remote host.
