.fox.bambi.com

BAMBI.COM

#

all

hosts in domain

*.bambi.com BAMBI.COM

#

all

the other hosts belonging

 

to the domain and sub-domains

 

Line one of the krb.realms file maps the host admin.bambi.com to the

 

BAMBI.COM realm.

 

Line two of the krb.realms file maps all hosts in the fox.bambi.com

 

domain to the BAMBI.COM realm.

 

 

NOTE

The preceding dot in this line identifies the first field as a domain name

 

rather than a hostname.

 

Typically, this line is not required as the realm name, by default, is the

 

upper-case equivalent of the domain name.

 

Line three of the krb.realms file maps all hosts in the domain and

 

 

sub-domains with the root name bambi.com to the BAMBI.COM realm.
