+In addition to adding services to NetInfo, you must also modify the
+resolver configuration in NetInfo so that the machine resolves its own
+hostname as a FQDN (fully qualified domain name).  By default, Mac OS X
+and Mac OS X Server machines query NetInfo to resolve hostnames before
+falling back to DNS.  Because NetInfo has an unqualified name for all
+the machines in the NetInfo database, the machine's own hostname will
+resolve to an unqualified name.  Kerberos needs a FQDN to look up keys
+in the machine's keytab file.
+
+Fortunately, you can change the @code{lookupd} caching order to query
+DNS first.  Run the following NetInfo commands and reboot the machine:
 
+@smallexample
+@group
+$ niutil -create . /locations/lookupd/hosts
+$ niutil -createprop . /locations/lookupd/hosts LookupOrder CacheAgent DNSAgent
+ NIAgent NILAgent
+@end group
+@end smallexample
+
+Once you have rebooted, you can verify that the resolver now behaves
+correctly.  Compile the Kerberos 5 distribution and run:
+
+@smallexample
+@group
+$ cd .../src/tests/resolve
+$ ./resolve
+@end group
+@end smallexample
+
+This will tell you whether or not your machine returns FQDNs on name
+lookups.  If the test still fails, you can also try turning off DNS
+caching.  Run the following commands and reboot:
+
+@smallexample
+@group
+$ niutil -create . /locations/lookupd/hosts
+$ niutil -createprop . /locations/lookupd/hosts LookupOrder DNSAgent
