Configuring Kerberos Clients
Kerberos clients include any host on the network that is not a KDC
server and that provides or uses Kerberos services. This section provides
procedures for installing a Kerberos client, as well as information about
using root authentication to mount NFS file systems.
For an overview of client configuration options, see Planning for Kerberos Clients.
