 Description   

Running

env KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/mongo_ec2-184-72-171-156.keytab /usr/local/bin/m232/bin/mongod --auth --setParameter authenticationMechanisms=GSSAPI --dbpath /data/db --logpath /var/tmp/mongod_auth.log --fork

Failed global initialization: BadValue Unsupported authenticationMechanism: "GSSAPI"

This log message isn't very clear and doesn't point towards the keytab as the source of the problem.

Discussed with Andy already.
