[Bug 1426910] [NEW] kdb5_ldap_util creates principal with wrong DNS domain

[Robert Sander]

Public bug reported:

If there is more than one domain in the "search" line of
/etc/resolv.conf when kdb5_ldap_util create is used to populate the LDAP
directory, a wrong hostname is composed.

kdb5_ldap_util seems to use the last domain name of the search list,
which is obviously not always correct.

Maybe kdb5_ldap_util should use an algorithm like "hostname --fqdn" to
determine the fully qualified domain name of the host.
