hmm.

Then you thought wrong, can happen... no worries. 
and yes the basic howto is short of some needed settings and explanation also. 
But they are working hard on it, everyone wants something else basicly.. 

these :
  dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab
   kerberos method = secrets and keytab
   client signing = if_required

should be in the wiki as default setting imo.. 
Saves lots of people lots of troubles..
