That should be all you need. Just make sure the SSH server(s) have the
following directives in the sshd_config file:

     GSSAPIAuthentication yes
     GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes
     GSSAPIKeyExchange yes

(make sure to restart sshd after adding these)

...and on the clients, make sure these are present in the ssh_config file:
     GSSAPIAuthentication yes
     GSSAPIDelegateCredentials yes

Then on the clients, once you kinit, just SSHing to one of the servers
should work without a password.
