kadmind currently considers a dictionary file to be optional. If no
dictionary file is specified, it does not complain and simply does not
perform a dictionary check when a password is changed. If a
dictionary file is specified but the file itself does not exist,
kadmind syslogs a warning at startup but continues to operate.
So, now I am implementing the new default semantics for kadm5
configuration parameters. Questions: (1) Should there be a default
dictionary file, thus eliminating the possibility that no dictionary
is ever specified (because the default will be filled in if none is)?
and (2) should kadmind fail or just log a warning if the specified
dictionary file does not exist?
