+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>
+ This plugin is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <command>winbind_krb5_locator</command> is a plugin that permits MIT and
+ Heimdal Kerberos libraries to detect Kerberos Servers (for the KDC and
+ kpasswd service) using the same semantics that other tools of the Samba
+ suite use. This include site-aware DNS service record lookups and caching
+ of closest dc.
+ The plugin uses the public locator API provided by most modern Kerberos
+ implementations.

+ <title>PREREQUISITES</title>
+ <para>
+ MIT Kerberos (at least version 1.5) or Heimdal Kerberos (at least version
+ 1.0) is required.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The plugin requires the winbindd daemon to be configured and started.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <command>winbind_krb5_locator</command>.so file needs to be manually
+ copied to the plugin directory of the system Kerberos library.
+
+ For MIT Kerberos this is often:
+ <filename>/usr/lib/krb5/plugins/libkrb5/</filename>.
+ For Heimdal Kerberos this is often:
+ <filename>/usr/lib/plugin/krb5/</filename>.
+
+ Please check your local Kerberos installation for the correct
+ paths. No modification in <filename>/etc/krb5.conf</filename>
+ is required to enable the use of this plugin.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ After copying the locator plugin to the appropriate plugin
+ directory it should immediately be available for use.
+ Users should be able to kinit into their kerberized Windows
+ environment without any modification or servers
+ being put manually into <filename>/etc/krb5.conf</filename>

+ Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source
+ project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
