The following figure depicts a simple example network with just the minimum compo-
nents needed to build a Kerberos infrastructure. Depending on the size and topology
of your deployment, you might need to use a different setup.

TIP: Configuring Subnet Routing
For a setup similar to the one in
(page 89), configure routing between the two subnets (192.168.1.0/24 and
192.168.2.0/24). Refer to Section "Configuring Routing" (Chapter 18, Basic
Networking, ↑Administration Guide) for more information on configuring
routing with YaST.

6.4.2 Choosing the Kerberos Realms

The domain of a Kerberos installation is called a realm and is identified by a name,
such as EXAMPLE.COM or simply ACCOUNTING. Kerberos is case-sensitive, so
example.com is actually a different realm than EXAMPLE.COM. Use the case you
prefer. It is common practice, however, to use uppercase realm names.
