For days I've been reading www.bayour.com/LDAPv3-HOWTO trying
to setup my kerberos realm. I know those instructions are very good for
people who're familiar with networking, but I'm over my
head here because I am missing some vital basic understanding.
Could someone please refer me to a source for beginners or if there's quick
answers help me along?
Q 1)
The instructions in
the above document state that I need to setup ldap and kerberos servers in
my DNS like the following.
---- snip -----
; IP address to the Kerberos/LDAP servers
kerberos IN
A <IP ADDRESS OF YOUR 1st KERBEROS
SERVERS>
kerberos-1 IN
A <IP ADDRESS OF YOUR 2nd KERBEROS
SERVERS>
ldap
IN
A <IP ADDRESS OF YOUR 1st LDAP
SERVER>
......
----------- snip ----
But I only have one IP address provided to me by my
ISP. So do I enter that one IP address for all of the
servers?
Q 2)
To setup kerberos realm name I need to use my domain
name. Is that the domain name found in /etc/resolv.conf?
Q 3)
Can I just use localhost.localdomain to setup a
kerberos realm name and skip setting up DNS for kerberos and ldap servers,
if I want to use kerberos in my local domain only?
