Hi,

it seems that Kerberos is enabled by default in the 1.5 release (built
from sources on a 1.4ZD system). This means (among other things) that
I explicitly have to specify "passwd -l" to change the password
locally (the only password system I have at home), and have to endure
a several minute-timeout at a console login, because login tries to
contact a kerberos server first. It cannot find one, because I do not
have any kerberos configuration. I don't know a lot about kerberos at
all, to be honest.

I removed the KERBEROS define from the login-Makefile and rebuilt and
installed login, which temporarily cured the login timeout problem,
but there must be a Right Way to disable kerberos in an installation.

Unfortunately a lot of the kerberos man pages still seem to be
missing, namely kerberos(1), referenced e. g. from login(1); and
kpasswd(1) is not really a man page, but just 3 lines of text. No
headers, no sections.

I'd be grateful if someone could point out how to disable kerberos in
NetBSD-1.5, and also give some pointers to general introductory and
configuration information about kerberos.
