Committed... 

This took a little longer than expected do to a fairly
nasty bug in the Fedora 10 installation....

The installation process adds both the FQDN and the host name
(i.e. the non-FQDN) to the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts. This
causes gethostname() on the FQDN to return 127.0.0.1 instead of 
DNS IP address... This caused svcgssd to always fail due to 
the host name not being found in the key tab. 

Unfortunately it took quite a bit to figure out what host name the
kerberos libs were looking since the host name in the key tab was
indeed correct... That lib code is definitely lacking when it comes
to debug-ability... :-(

So buyer bewared... if you recently installed F-10 please check to see
if your /etc/hosts file only contains the non-FQDN host name on the
127.0.0.1 line.
