[Bug 549508] [NEW] Can't resolve realm kdc with a fully qualified hostname

[Justin Jon L. Jereza]

Public bug reported:

If a realm is specified as the following in /etc/krb5.conf:

[realms]
EXAMPLE.LOCAL = {
    kdc = auth.example.local
}

I get the following:

$ kinit user
kinit: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm EXAMPLE.LOCAL while getting initial credentials

If it's specified as kdc = auth, it works fine.

i have the following in my /etc/resolv.conf:

domain example.local
search example.local

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is happening on Karmic.
