 This is a security 'feature' that was introduced into Heimdal around
 v1.1.
 
 Various PRs exist proposing solutions, one of which is kern/161888.  It
 may be worth trying to take Harry's patches and sending them to the
 Heimdal development team.
 
 In my own environment, I elected to chroot OpenLDAP (via the -r flag to
 slapd) with various nullfs mounts.  This allowed me to create a new /etc
 dir within the root and setup a custom krb5.conf that changed the
 location of the default keytab (within the root) to another location.
 
 This wasn't a problem as I had planned on chroot()ing the daemon anyway.
 
 You will need to create the new directory hierarchy and use nullfs
 mounts to get the various required directories inside the new root.  For
 me, this was: /lib, /usr/lib, /etc/gss, /var/run/openldap,
 /var/db/openldap-data, /usr/local/lib/sasl2, /usr/local/etc/openldap,
 /usr/local/libexec/openldap and /var/run/saslauthd.
 
 The relevant items from the krb5.conf from within the new root are as
 follows:
 [libdefaults]
         default_keytab_name = FILE:/usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.keytab
 
 -r
