I just realized that there was not much in the way of context from my original 
message, so here is what I'm trying to do:

If I want to allow the host principal for a given system to manage other 
hostname-based principals for the same host (to enable some kind of automation, 
say), based on the documentation, I would expect that an entry in kadm5.acl 
that looks like this:

host/*@MYREALM.COM x */*[email protected]

would permit:

         host/[email protected] 

to create:
        
        nfs/[email protected]

or

        HTTP/[email protected]
