KRB.REALMS(5)                                       KRB.REALMS(5)



NAME

       /etc/krb.realms - host to Kerberos realm translation file


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 follow-
       ing forms (domain_name should be  of  the  form  .XXX.YYY,
       e.g. .LCS.MIT.EDU):
            host_name kerberos_realm
            domain_name kerberos_realm
       If  a  hostname  exactly  matches the host_name field in a
       line of the first form, the  corresponding  realm  is  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 corre-
       sponding realm is the realm of the host.

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