KRB.CONF(5)               OpenBSD Programmer's Manual              KRB.CONF(5)

NAME
     krb.conf - Kerberos configuration file

DESCRIPTION
     krb.conf contains configuration information describing the Kerberos realm
     and the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) servers for known realms.

     The first line of krb.conf contains the name of the local realm. If the
     first character in the first line is a hash sign (`#'), then Kerberos au-
     thentication is disabled.

     Subsequent lines are of the form

           realm KDC_server [admin server]

     where realm is a Kerberos realm name and KDC_server is the name of a host
     running a KDC for realm. The words ``admin server'' following KDC_server
     indicate that the host also provides an administrative database server.

EXAMPLES
     A krb.conf file for a host in the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm might look like:

           ATHENA.MIT.EDU
           ATHENA.MIT.EDU kerberos-1.mit.edu admin server
           ATHENA.MIT.EDU kerberos-2.mit.edu
           LCS.MIT.EDU kerberos.lcs.mit.edu admin server
