--What happened: 
There is a discrepancy between the default location of kpropd.acl specified in the kpropd man page, and the actual default location that the program reads. 

from the man page for kpropd:

FILES
       kpropd.acl  Access file for kpropd; the default  location  is  KPROPD_ACL_FILE  (normally
                   /usr/local/var/krb5kdc/kpropd.acl).   Each  entry  is  a  line containing the
                   principal of a host from which the local machine will allow Kerberos database
                   propagation via kprop.


Strace shows that kpropd is actually looking for the file in /etc/krb5kdc/: 

root at tribble:/etc/xinetd.d# strace -F kpropd -Sd  2>&1 |grep 'open.*acl'
open("/etc/krb5kdc/kpropd.acl", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

--What I expected to happen:
The man page and the program agree.
