I am just beginning to look at implementing Kerberos in our shop. One thing I
noticed is that Kerberos wants a fully qualified domain name in order to decide
on the appropriate realm. Our shop made a decision long ago to set up NIS,
/etc/hosts, etc. to return the short host name rather than FQDN. Am I mistaken
in thinking that this "old" decision is going to cause problems with Kerberos??
I'd be especially interested in learning how others have dealt with this same
problem.
Thanks.
