Due to the way kerberos ticket are built you need to restart the master
this replica was replicating to before you rebuild a replica with the
exact same name.
This is because krb tickets are cached but you will change the long term
key with a full reinstall, so the current master will have a ticket the
replica cannot decrypt.

Simo.
