Typo.

Also ``keytab'', since we don't know what that is.

Please use ‘when’ or ‘unless’ for single-arm ‘if’ (there are other
occurrences of this further down in this file.)  It makes it clear that
this is for effect.

(At some point we should add an explicit ‘port’ parameter for these
serialize procedures.)

‘unless’.

OK with all these changes.

In the future, could you write a short summary of the changes when you
submit a new revision of a patch, to make it easier to keep track of it?

Thanks,
