Hiya,

 My apologies for the newbie (and deeply naïve!) question but I've just joined 
the list because I can't find the google words to check if this has been 
discussed or explained to an idiot like me! :-).

 Many distros (and packages) use a gently scaling concept where a system has a 
root "/etc/xxx,conf" file and then supports a "/etc/xxx.d/ " directory which 
contains multiple .conf files that are processed in traditional filename order 
(including paths directly seems to be going out of fashion). As Kerberos is 
security sensitive, I can imagine it might not be a very cool thing to support 
the "clobbering of settings" idea on any level, but it is rather flexible idea 
in real life to have config settings split into separate files and have things 
broken down into "override" global settings nicely.

  Are there any feature request conversations going about supporting a krb5.d/ 
directory?

Regards,

Keith
