Kerberos requires every client to know where the server is located. This can be done either by using /etc/krb5.conf file or using DNS to distribute the information. Using DNS makes it easier to do changes in the network settings as not every client needs to be updated. Next we aim to minimize the amount of configuration needed for every client so configuring DNS properly is a logical first step.Kerberos requires every client to know where the server is located.
