Try to use in the realms section of the krb5.conf file on hosts with default
realm REALM1:
REALM1 = {
auth_to_local = RULE:[1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]([EMAIL
PROTECTED])s/@.*//
auth_to_local = DEFAULT
}
and on hosts with default REALM2:
REALM2 = {
auth_to_local = RULE:[1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]([EMAIL
PROTECTED])s/@.*//
auth_to_local = DEFAULT
}
This would avoid having .k5login files everywhere, BUT you have to
understand that now the administrator of REALM2 can control the access to
hosts in REALM1 and userids have to be unique in both realms.
