Cross-realm authentication involves having the user create a .KLOGIN file in
the remote realm's home directory. In it you place the username and hostname
of the local realm. What I don't understand is why the need for the username?
I.e. is it possible to allow authentication if the principal names are
different in the different realms? If not, then it seems to me that the
remote username must match the local realm's principal name no matter what,
correct? Thanks.
