The \fBkrb5.conf\fR file contains Kerberos configuration information, including
the locations of \fBKDC\fRs and administration daemons for the Kerberos realms
of interest, defaults for the current realm and for Kerberos applications, and
mappings of host names onto Kerberos realms. This file must reside on all
Kerberos clients.
