9 /etc/krb.realms \- host to Kerberos realm translation file
12 provides a translation from a hostname to the Kerberos realm name for
13 the services provided by that host.
15 Each line of the translation file is in one of the following forms
16 (domain_name should be of the form .XXX.YYY, e.g. .LCS.MIT.EDU):
19 host_name kerberos_realm
20 domain_name kerberos_realm
23 If a hostname exactly matches the
25 field in a line of the first
26 form, the corresponding realm is the realm of the host.
27 If a hostname does not match any
30 domain exactly matches the
32 field in a line of the second
33 form, the corresponding realm is the realm of the host.
35 If no translation entry applies, the host's realm is considered to be
36 the hostname's domain portion converted to upper case.
