All,

Maybe this is a docbug, but we had the following stanza in our krb5.conf, on 
our KDC's running MIT krb5 1.21.3 (FreeBSD pkg).

[logging]
        kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc
        admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin
        default = FILE:/var/log/krb5

And I recently discovered that the krb5kdc process wasn't reading/honoring 
those files, unless the statements were in kdc.conf.

In the documentation for krb5-devel 
(https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html#krb5-conf-5)
 krb5.conf doesn't have [logging] listed as a possible config section, but an 
older version 
(https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.4/krb5-1.4.1/doc/krb5-admin/krb5.conf.html#krb5.conf)
 does list that section.  So clearly kdc.conf is the right place, and I'm 
updating our configs, since logging seems to do nothing in krb5.conf.

Can someone say when this changed?  I don't see mention of it in the changelog.

-Dan
