Package: krb5-admin-server
Version: 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny2
Severity: normal

The kadmind(8) man page explicitly says that multiple realms are supported by
a single kadmind:

       -r realm
              specifies the default realm that kadmind will serve; if it is not
              specified, the default realm of the host is used.  kadmind will 
answer requests
              for  any  realm that exists in the local KDC database and for 
which the
              appropriate principals are in its keytab.

However, the reality seems to be that the current kadmind no longer supports
multiple realms and multiple instances of the daemon have to be used instead.

In combination with poor error reporting in the whole Kerberos suite, this is
a deadly trap :)

Please fix the documentation to say that an instance of kadmind per realm is 
needed.
