Log Message:
Add config file section in RST user guide
Move the .k5identity and .k5login man pages to a separate section from
user commands. Also, kadmin.local and k5srvutil are not user-oriented
commands, so don't link to them in the user_commands index.

+.. _.k5identity(5):
+
+.k5identity
+===========
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+**~/.k5identity**
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The .k5identity file, which resides in a user's home directory,
+contains a list of rules for selecting a client principals based on
+the server being accessed. These rules are used to choose a
+credential cache within the cache collection when possible.
+
+Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#`` are ignored. Each line has
+the form:
+
+ *principal* *field*\=\ *value* ...
+
+If the server principal meets all of the field constraints, then
+principal is chosen as the client principal. The following fields are
+recognized:
+
+**realm**
+ If the realm of the server principal is known, it is matched
+ against *value*, which may be a pattern using shell wildcards.
+ For host-based server principals, the realm will generally only be
+ known if there is a :ref:`domain_realm` section in
+ :ref:`krb5.conf(5)` with a mapping for the hostname.
+
+**service**
+ If the server principal is a host-based principal, its service
+ component is matched against *value*, which may be a pattern using
+ shell wildcards.
+
+**host**
+ If the server principal is a host-based principal, its hostname
+ component is converted to lower case and matched against *value*,
+ which may be a pattern using shell wildcards.
+
+ If the server principal matches the constraints of multiple lines
+ in the .k5identity file, the principal from the first matching
+ line is used. If no line matches, credentials will be selected
+ some other way, such as the realm heuristic or the current primary
+ cache.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+
+The following example .k5identity file selects the client principal
+``alice@KRBTEST.COM`` if the server principal is within that realm,
+the principal ``alice/root@EXAMPLE.COM`` if the server host is within
+a servers subdomain, and the principal ``alice/mail@EXAMPLE.COM`` when
+accessing the IMAP service on ``mail.example.com``:
+
+ ::
+
+ alice@KRBTEST.COM realm=KRBTEST.COM
+ alice/root@EXAMPLE.COM host=*.servers.example.com
+ alice/mail@EXAMPLE.COM host=mail.example.com service=imap

+.. _.k5login(5):
+
+.k5login
+========
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+**~/.k5login**
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The .k5login file, which resides in a user's home directory, contains
+a list of the Kerberos principals. Anyone with valid tickets for a
+principal in the file is allowed host access with the UID of the user
+in whose home directory the file resides. One common use is to place
+a .k5login file in root's home directory, thereby granting system
+administrators remote root access to the host via Kerberos.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+Suppose the user ``alice`` had a .k5login file in her home directory
+containing the following line:
+
+ ::
+
+ bob@FOOBAR.ORG
+
+This would allow ``bob`` to use any of the Kerberos network
+applications, such as telnet(1), rlogin(1), rsh(1), and rcp(1), to
+access ``alice``'s account, using ``bob``'s Kerberos tickets.
+
+Let us further suppose that ``alice`` is a system administrator.
+Alice and the other system administrators would have their principals
+in root's .k5login file on each host:
+
+ ::
+
+ alice@BLEEP.COM
+
+ joeadmin/root@BLEEP.COM
+
+This would allow either system administrator to log in to these hosts
+using their Kerberos tickets instead of having to type the root
+password. Note that because ``bob`` retains the Kerberos tickets for
+his own principal, ``bob@FOOBAR.ORG``, he would not have any of the
+privileges that require ``alice``'s tickets, such as root access to
+any of the site's hosts, or the ability to change ``alice``'s
+password.
