Package: libauthen-simple-kerberos-perl
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: wishlist

hi,

im using libauthen-simple-kerberos-perl in order to authenticate my Subversion
repositories users against our Windows Domain Controller (Apache Webdav, Perl
Handler). A simple checkout resulted in about ~600 connections (most of them
ending up in TIME_WAIT after short time) to our Primary Domain Controller.
Authentifaction did work but was slow as hell :)

A bit of fiddling resulted in noticing /etc/krb5.conf was missing. After
creating this file with the right settings, all went a bit smoother and the
module didnt open hundrets of connections (i dont know why it does so if this
config file is missing ..).

I think recommending / suggesting krb5-config would be helpful (maybe also
adding a short note to README.Debian or something..).

bye,
	- michael
