Thanks for the reply.

Ah: It looks like that is the problem.  "kdc --builtin-hdb" doesn't  
list any databases.

I have berkeley db installed.  I did not have the Debian -dev package  
installed for it, but I didn't get a ./configure warning/error so I  
assumed that was ok.

I've installed that package and recompiled, and everything worked as  
expected.  I suppose that no compile-time warning was given because  
many of these tools can be used without a local database?

Thanks,
Adam
