Kerberos and Kinit

I'm having some difficulties getting kerberos v5 (the athena build)
to work under Linux.

When I run the kinit program thus:

./kinit dgarsta1@c2.telstra-mm.net.au

I get:

kinit: Cannot find KDC for requested realm while getting initial
credentials

Here is my /etc/athena/krb5.conf file:
C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU
C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
WFH.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
WFH1.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
WFH2.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
WFH3.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
WFH4.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
WFH5.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server

I know that the networking aspect is fine and that my PC can talk to the
network with no trouble. I also know that kinit is looking at the correct
krb.conf file because it says that it cannot find it when I move the one
above. 

I don't know if the above error means that it cannot find it in the
krb.conf
file (and it should be able to because I've checked the man pages) or if
it means that it has communicated with the KDC server and maybe there is a
protocol problem of some sort (i know there are various versions of
kerberos). I would imagine that it just can't find it in the config file
because when I turn networking off I get the same error.

Here is my /etc/athena/krb5.realms file:
homer.c2.telstra-mm.net.au C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU
c2.telstra-mm.net.au C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU

I am trying to port this from the Windows 95 application which is called
NetManage Chameleon/Newt and which I believe uses kerberos to authenticate
across a broadband/cable modem network to my Linux box. I'm very close I
believe!

Any help with kerberos would be extremely well appreciated to

Thanks!
