What documentation, if any, exists for the new krb5.conf and kdc.conf
formats?  I'd like to know things like the syntax of the files, what
top-level blocks (like [realms] and [libdefaults]) exist, the
structure of each top-level block (ie: [realms] seems to have one (or
presumably more) realm sub-blocks), what variables are accessed on
both the client and the server side, and the default value for
variables that are not specified.  I am going to add this kind of
information to the kadm5 spec (ie: kadm5's answers to all those
questions), and I'm wondering if there is anything I can base it on.

Of course, I say "I'd like to know," but I'm sure everyone who will
use Kerberos would like to know, too. :-)

Barry
