    daemon: Avoid 'Could not find keytab file' in syslog

it was noted that only old versions of kerberos would need the
environment variable to be set: that was more than sever years
ago, so it's safe to assume that none of our current target
platforms still requires that hack and setting the appropriate
key in the configuration file will be enough.
