#208 Kerberos auth should allow specification of a host name rather than just an IP

Reopen Issue

Firstly, thanks for your work on this. I just installed it yesterday on F11 (standard repos) and it works reasonably well. I am looking to use this project as a way to enable ultra-mobility with my Fedora based laptop.

I already have a kerberized internal network and am looking to open KDC port 88 to the wold so I can get tickets from the WAN, wherever I may be with my lappy.

However, the current Kerberos implemenation only allows a krb5KDCIP. It would be wonderful if it either allowed a hostname or was able to use DNS resolution to find the KDC similar to how the pam krb5 workstation modules work.

This enhancement is already present in upstream release 0.6.0. This release will be available in the Fedora repositories some time in the next week.
