    Kerberos Keys

    Kerberos uses keys to transmit information between hosts.  There are  session keys and service keys kept in the keytab file on the KDC.  The KDC (Key Distribution Center) then does out keys as needed.  To see the service keys: klist -k /etc/krb5.keytab

    What is a Kerberos Realm

    A realm is where the kerberos database is stored.  The realm lives on one computer (KDC) and  can have read-only slave servers (kinda’ like a cluster).  Each realm will have a listing in the following files /private/var/db/krb5kdc/  .k5.FQDN.OF.REALM (secret key)  kdc.conf (configuration file for the KDC)  kadm5.acl (access control list for KDC)
