Does anyone have changes for krb5 to allow it to use hesiod to get the
krb.realms and krb.conf information?  I'm not looking forward to
keeping these files up to date and figure something based on hesiod
(or local modifications to bind) would be easier to do.  I'm undecided
as to whether a root hackable files is better or worse than getting
the info from a nameserver, so if you have any opinions about that I'd
appreciate hearing them.

It seems to me that if a person logs in to the same machine multiple
times his/her ticket cache will get blown away.  Is this true?  Has
anyone done something with instances to fix this, (or does the cache
not allow this anyway)?

Thanks for any answers.

Roy
