+.Sh NAME
+.Nm krb.conf
+.Nd Kerberos configuration file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
contains configuration information describing the Kerberos realm and the
Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) servers for known realms.
-.PP
-.I krb.conf
-contains the name of the local realm in the first
-line, followed by lines indicating realm/host
-entries. The first token is a realm name, and the second is the hostname
-of a host running a KDC for that realm.
-The words "admin server" following the hostname indicate that
-the host also provides an administrative database server.
-
-A hash sign (#) as a first character of the krb.conf file disables kerberos
-authentication on the system.
-
-For example:
-.nf
-.in +1i
+.Pp
+The first line of
+.Nm
+contains the name of the local realm. If the first character in the first line
+is a hash sign
+.Pf ( Ql # ) ,
+then Kerberos authentication is disabled.
+.Pp
+Subsequent lines are of the form
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Fa realm
+.Fa KDC_server
+.Op admin server
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Fa realm
+is a Kerberos realm name and
+.Fa KDC_server
+is the name of a host running a KDC for
+.Fa realm .
+The words
+.Dq admin server
+following
+.Fa KDC_server
+indicate that the host also provides an administrative database server.
+.Pp
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+A krb.conf file for a host in the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm might look like:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
ATHENA.MIT.EDU
ATHENA.MIT.EDU kerberos-1.mit.edu admin server
ATHENA.MIT.EDU kerberos-2.mit.edu
LCS.MIT.EDU kerberos.lcs.mit.edu admin server
