For the 1.5 release, we're changing direction a bit: The KDC programs  
(krb5kdc, kadmind, kadmin.local but not kadmin, etc) will add  
kdc.conf (either compiled-in path or env var) to the list of config  
files used, and combine the data from all of them that are found.  So  
all the config information can be put into krb5.conf, if desired, or  
kdc.conf can override krb5.conf settings that currently it can't  
influence.  (We've been talking about doing this for a while, but the  
big impetus now has to do with the interface chosen for the pluggable  
database back end support donated by Novell.)
