Same problem, would you like a copy of this output? I'm presuming the
lines prefaced by a "+" are of interest to you?
+ named_symlink_enable=YES
+ kerberos5_server_enable=NO
+ kerberos5_server=/usr/libexec/kdc
+ kadmind5_server_enable=NO
+ kadmind5_server=/usr/libexec/kadmind
+ kpasswdd_server_enable=NO
+ kpasswdd_server=/usr/libexec/kpasswdd
+ rwhod_enable=NO
Anything in particular you'd like me to pull from this output?

Indeed, I do!
Thanks again for your help! I hope that isolating and resolving my
problem will be useful for others too...
