Built Slackware packages for krb5, openldap and rebuilt samba to include same. That went well but I have managed to confuse myself when setting up the krb5.conf file.

The home lan uses NIS/ypbind and the name in /etc/defaultdomain is NOT the same as that portion in /etc/HOSTNAME. The confusion comes when I wanted to see how SUSE10 (on a seperate laptop hard drive)configured krb5.conf. Well SUSE uppered the NIS domainname and ignored the lan name.

So on a lan which will have NIS as well as openldap-krb5, do I change the NIS domain to be the same, ignore and leave whats working - working, some how include the NIS name (as a realm?) in the krb5.conf?

Thanks in advance
