I haven't actually taken a close look at your tool yet but I was hoping
that some of your work could be leveraged to make libkrb5 print better
error messages. It seems to me that it should be possible to provide
better validation within libkrb5 without adding unbearable overhead or
complexity.
Having an external tool which can validate krb5.conf is definitely
better than not having any tool at all.
Thanks,
