We had a similar problem with 3.0.7 where hostname based authentication
failed, but IP based succeeded. The problem was an incorrect krb5.conf
file in our case. The specific lines that were missing were (from the
HowTo):

[domain_realms]
	.kerberos.server = YOUR.KERBEROS.REALM

For whatever reason, the earlier version managed to work without
those lines. Just another data point.
