1.8       wiki        3: ## Why enable Kerberos on your system?
1.1       schmonz     4:

1.3       wiki        7: login grants access to all NetBSD web services. Configuration is easy
                      8: and you only have to do it once (sometimes less).

1.8       wiki       11: ## NetBSD
1.1       schmonz    12: 
1.2       schmonz    13: NetBSD needs to be configured to prevent Kerberos from being used
                     14: to log into _your_ system, and then to enable Kerberos.
1.1       schmonz    15: 
1.2       schmonz    16: 7. Either disable Kerberos auth for `sshd`, `login`, etc. in
1.4       wiki       17: `/etc/pam.d`, or tell your relevant services not to use PAM.
                     18: 
                     19:    /!\ Disabling KerberosAuthentication in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` does **NOT** prevent `sshd` from invoking `pam_krb5.so` and prompting for a Kerberos password -- oops. Since you probably do not have a host key in the realm NETBSD.ORG you have little to fear from ssh's KerberosAuthentication method -- nothing can get tickets to use your machine, because there is no host instance for your machine shared between the NetBSD kerberos server and your local keytab. So, the bottom line: turn off UsePAM for `sshd` or adjust your PAM configuration; don't worry about KerberosAuthentication or GSSAPIAuthentication in `sshd` itself.
                     20: 
1.1       schmonz    21: 7. Create `/etc/krb5.conf` containing only the line `[libdefaults]`.
                     22: 
1.2       schmonz    23: NetBSD will now autodiscover and uses the NETBSD.ORG KDC as defined
                     24: in DNS. To use Kerberized TNF services, log in with your Kerberos

1.1       schmonz    28: 
                     29: The right-hand side is a Kerberos realm, not a DNS domain. Case is significant!

1.8       wiki       46: 
1.11    ! wiki       47:    By default Ticket Viewer.app will save password details in keychain, un-tick "Remember password in my keychain" if this is not desired behaviour

                     64:    with Kerberos distributions, like
                     65:    [[!template id=man name=kinit section=1]] or
                     66:    [[!template id=man name=klist section=1]], and a Network Identity

                     69: 
                     70: 7. Install the package. Use the default provided options, then

                     76:    currently configured, it should open a dialog box to obtain the
