[Bug 571572] Re: krb5 prefers the reverse pointer no matter what for locating service tickets.

[Jesper Krogh]

Hi Russ.

I cannot say anything about what other are experiencing.. but in our
setup we haven't put the final hostname in the keytab (and neither did
the guys that only cared about MSIE+IIS). And all Ubuntu releases (from
around Dapper) and up and until Lucid has worked for us.

So seen from an Ubuntu perspective, this is a regression.. wether or not
it is desired to fix it I dont know?

But I guess until Windows changes behaviour (thus all the configuration
of the Windows servers), I'll have to maintain this patch locally for
our installation. An it is a fair assumption to say that our setup is
fairly "standard".

Would a patch that makes the behaviour configurable be acceptable?

Jesper
