Hmmm ..... okay, how about something like this?

[appdefaults]

	forward = false
	forwardable = false

	kinit = {
		forward = true
		renewable = false
		proxyable = true

		ATHENA.MIT.EDU = {
			proxyable = true
		}

		CMF.NRL.NAVY.MIL = {
			forward = false
			renewable = true
		}
	}

You could do this for any app, actually - not just kinit.

I guess the search path would be something like:

appdefaults -> app -> realm -> option
appdefaults -> app -> option
appdefaults -> realm -> option
appdefaults -> option

Well, I need something pretty soon, so I think I'll just tackle it now
and see how it comes out.
