.SH DESCRIPTION
.I krb.conf
-contains configuration information describing the Kerberos realm and the
+contains configuration information describing the Kerberos realm(s) 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.
+starts with a definition of the local realm on the first line, this is
+followed by any number lines defining supplementary local realms. The
+rest of the file consists of lines indicating realm/host entries. The
+first token is a realm name, and the second is a server specification
+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.
+
+To be able to communicate with the KDC through a firewall it is
+sometimes necessary to tunnel requests over HTTP or TCP. Tunnel
+protocols and port numbers are specified in the server specification
+using the syntax [(udp|tcp|http)/]hostname[:port].
