Kerberos authentication fails because of inability to specify "kdcHost" argument

[Alh4zr3d]

Describe the bug Using CrackMapExec with the -k argument for Kerberos authentication fails, complaining of "missing positional argument kdcHost", even when a KDC FQDN is supplied through the --kdcHost parameter.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to authenticate via Kerberos.

Expected behavior The --kdcHost parameter is expected to actually work and pass the provided value to the kerberos_login() function in the code.

Still not sure what the issue was, but upgrading from 5.2.2 to 5.2.3 and installing via a virtualenv seems to have corrected the issue. I'll close it here. Sorry to be a pest!

Yep I fix this problem on v5.2.3 :)
