 initialize database /var/heimdal/heimdal

 I ran into similar issues a couple weeks back.  It came down to a
 couple problems:
 
 1) the default configuration for security/heimdal doesn't have any
 backends turned on.  I ran "make config" and enabled BDB and then I
 was able to use /usr/local/libexec/hpropd to initialize the database
 and migrate from another running system.  Perhaps this should be on by
 default.
 
 2) security/heimdal builds using a newer version of BDB than the
 minimal heimdal included in the base system.  Be sure to use
 /usr/local/sbin/kadmin instead of /usr/bin/kadmin.  The latter cannot
 read the database written by the daemons installed with
 security/heimdal.
 
 Along that last point, make sure you set the binary paths in /etc/rc.conf:
 kerberos5_server="/usr/local/libexec/kdc"
 kadmind5_server="/usr/local/libexec/kadmind"
 kpasswdd_server="/usr/local/libexec/kpasswdd"
