Should the PORTS section of src/clients/kpasswd/kpasswd.M
mention kpasswd in /etc/services ?
Or is krb5.conf for clients and /etc/services for servers ?
Or can both use both and in which order ?
Separately, whilst reading the man pages for kadmin/kadmind, kadmind's
man page mentions nothing about using this port and nor does kadmin's
mention using 749/tcp (I presume it uses 88 or 750).
What does use 749/tcp ? It appears nothing does ? Or at least I've not
seen any reports of blocked packets on our firewall that only allows
through 88, 750 and now 464 when using kadmin and friends from a client.
