Can't resolve realm kdc with a fully qualified hostname

[Justin Jereza]

If a realm is specified as the following in /etc/krb5.conf:

[realms]
EXAMPLE.LOCAL = {
    kdc = auth.example.local
}

I get the following:

$ kinit user
kinit: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm EXAMPLE.LOCAL while getting initial credentials

If it's specified as kdc = auth, it works fine.

i have the following in my /etc/resolv.conf:

domain example.local
search example.local

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is happening on Karmic.

Can you attach your configuration file?

Thanks

This configuration file works.

This configuration file doesn't work.

Sorry, it seems I've been barking up the wrong tree here. It seems to be a conflict with the .local TLD I'm using and avahi.
