NAME

krb.realms- host to Kerberos realm translation file

SYNOPSIS

/etc/krb.realms

DESCRIPTION

krb.realms provides a translation from a hostname to the Kerberos realm name for the services provided by that host.

Each line of the translation file is in one of the following forms:

host_name kerberos_realm domain_name kerberos_realm

domain_name should be of the form .XXX.YYY, for example, .LCS.MIT.EDU.

If a hostname exactly matches the host_name field in a line of the first form, the corresponding kerberos_realm is used as the realm of the host. If a hostname does not match any host_name in the file, but its domain exactly matches the domain_name field in a line of the second form, the corresponding kerberos_realm is used as the realm of the host.

If no translation entry applies, the host's realm is considered to be the hostname's domain portion converted to upper case.
