I'm pretty sure that this can't be the reason. Setting up a 64 bit
combined server in a virtual box environment always generates the right
values in /opt/ltsp/i386/krb5.conf.

The script that generates krb5.conf relies upon a working DNS setup on
tjener. Under default conditions it works o.k. So I guess the reported
problem is related to special local conditions concerning the network
setup.

OK, I'm just making some guess.

Our installing environment would usually be a dedicated network environment where it couldn't reach the internet.  Internet (and its NAT settings) would be taken care after everything was set up.  I'm sure that the content of /opt/ltsp/i386/krb5.conf was wrong BEFORE we run subnet_change to change the eth0 IP network.

Recently we will have some more chances to install skolelinux.  I'll try to find out more information about this issue.
