('strings' shows this error message in /usr/kerberos/lib/libkrb5.so on
my system.  So you're using a krb5 kinit.)

DG> C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU
DG> C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
DG> WFH.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server

DG> WFH3.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
DG> WFH4.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server
DG> WFH5.C2.TELSTRA-MM.NET.AU dce-server.c2.telstra-mm.net.au admin server

This looks more like a Kerberos IV configuration file than a krb5
config file.  If you really are running Kerberos V, then the first few
lines of your /etc/krb5.conf file would look more like mine:

[libdefaults]
        default_realm = ATHENA.MIT.EDU
	...

From here it should be intuitively obvious how to fix it.  :-)

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

There's a [realms] section in /etc/krb5.conf but no krb5.realms file.
Are you _sure_ you're running Kerberos V?  Given the names and formats
of the files and the fact that they're in an /etc/athena directory it
sounds much more like krb4.  Try installing the default configuration
files from the krb5 distribution and then modifying them for your
local realm.
