Hello, Can you clarify for me exactly what dns_lookup_kdc does? I am trying to help a user debug something. The user's config file has dns_lookup_kdc=false under [libdefaults] and then does not specify any realms under [realms]. To my intuition, it should mean that nothing works at all. But experimentally, it does work. Doing some tcpdumping, I can see it do a DNS lookup to find the KDCs, even though dns_lookup_kdc is set false. Perhaps the dns_lookup_kdc only affects realms that are defined in your [realms] section? Thank you for your help, Jerry ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
