This is obviously an error (-2) and it's a bug that it doesn't get
translated to an error message.  I think this is coming from
getaddrinfo and would mean `name or service is unknown'.  Do you have
the correct hostname in DNS or in the admin_server part of your
krb5.conf?

Unfortunately, there's no simple way of reporting this error in the
context of com_err.  This should, of course, be fixed, but will
require some reworking.
