How does Kinit know where the KDC is?

I built and installed Kerberos MIT code.

I also worked on one machine (tested with sserver and sclient). I did this as a testbed to develop an application that will use Kerberos for authentication. My question is, how does kinit know where to send requests to kerberos? Do I need some tuning to test in a multi-machine environment? Is there a DNS call? How is a DNS record created (if used)?

Thank.

It turns out that each client host should have a file / etc / krb 5.conf, which tells clients where the KDC is located. (I say Linux / Unix here.)
