hi
	I got kerberosV5 from mit and got it compiled on my linux
	machine. Then I followed the documentation to install the servers
	and clients.

	I created configuration file (/krb5/src/config-files/krb5.conf) as
	follows:

	[libdefaults]
	default-realm = UMT.EDU
	[realms]
	UMT.EDU = {
	kdc = DARKSTAR.UMT.EDU
	admin_server = DARKSTAR.UMT.EDU
	default_domain = UMT.EDU
	v4_instance_covert = {
		umt = umt.edu
		}
	}
	[domain_realm]
	.umt.edu = DARKSTAR.UMT.EDU
	umt.edu  = DARKSTAR.UMT.EDU

	Then I did krb5_create to create database.
	It gave error: Improper format of configuration file while
			retrieving default realm name.

	Then I tried "krb5_create -r UMT.EDU" (explicitly declared
	realm name) and then It worked.

	Then I did krb5_stash -r UMT.EDU 
	Then "krb5_edit -r UMT.EDU" which prompted to enter user name and 
	password to the database.
	
	I checked displaying the database & it worked too..

	I started kerberos server at startup with all other daemons..

	Then when I tried "kinit" it gave this error:

	Improper format of configuration file when passing 
	name root

I couldn't proceed further and I'm not sure where I went wrong, may
be in configuration..

Any pointers please..Your help is greatly appreciated..

Thanx a lot 
doddy
