Thanks for that.

It's the same kind of issue (wrong service name), but I think the real
problem is this:

krb_srvname = 'postgres/star@xxxxxxxxxxx'

The documentation, I think, is pretty clear:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/auth-methods.html#KERBEROS-AUTH

 PostgreSQL operates like a normal Kerberos service. The name of the
 service principal is servicename/hostname@realm.

 servicename can be set on the server side using the krb_srvname
 configuration parameter

The above should just be:

krb_srvname = 'postgres'

Or, better, just removed.  Unless you're running under a Microsoft
Active Directory Kerberos environment, the default should 'just work'.

Additionally, this is also almost certainly wrong:

krb_server_hostname = 'star'

Again, referring to the same documentation:

 hostname is the fully qualified host name of the server machine.

You really should have a proper FQDN set for this system.  I would also
recommend using a real domain rather than 'EXAMPLE.COM'.  Also, I didn't
see the version of PostgreSQL, but if you're using something recent your
auth method should really be 'gss' instead of 'krb5'.

Unfortunately, I don't pay as close attention to the lists as I wish I
could.  Kerberos with PG is actually a solution I typically recommend.

       Thanks,

               Stephen
