VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8)	  BSD System Manager's Manual	   VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8)

NAME
     verify_krb5_conf -- checks krb5.conf for obvious errors

SYNOPSIS
     verify_krb5_conf [config-file]

DESCRIPTION
     verify_krb5_conf reads the configuration file krb5.conf, or the file
     given on the command line, and parses it, thereby verifying that the syn-
     tax is not correctly wrong.

     If the file is syntactically correct, verify_krb5_conf tries to verify
     that the contents of the file is of relevant nature.

ENVIRONMENT
     KRB5_CONFIG points to the configuration file to read.

FILES
     /etc/krb5.conf  Kerberos 5 configuration file

DIAGNOSTICS
     Possible output from verify_krb5_conf include:

     <path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean
	     Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it contains
	     weird characters. The parsing done by verify_krb5_conf is more
	     strict than the one performed by libkrb5, so strings that work in
	     real life might be reported as bad.

     <path>: host not found (<hostname>)
	     Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be
	     recognised as one.

     <path>: unknown or wrong type
	     Means that <path> is either a string when it should be a list,
	     vice versa, or just that verify_krb5_conf is confused.

     <path>: unknown entry
	     Means that <string> is not known by .

SEE ALSO
     krb5.conf(5)

BUGS
     Since each application can put almost anything in the config file, it's
     hard to come up with a watertight verification process. Most of the
     default settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that every
     problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a possible
     problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with some care.

     It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently
     doesn't.
