Description Boris B.Samorodov 2005-06-14 11:40:23 UTC 
	According to FreeBSD Handbook (14.8.2 Setting up a Heimdal KDC) one
	should config DNS server by adding:
	-----
	_kerberos           IN  TXT     EXAMPLE.ORG.
	-----

	This doesn't work. DNS servers returns: text = "EXAMPLE.ORG.".
	This is right, because RFC 1035 allows up to 16 character strings at
	this field (assuming that noting should be prepended to the field if
	it doesn't end with a point).

	Thus I've got at KDC log:
	-----
	2005-06-10T23:57:07 Server not found in database: krbtgt/EXAMPLE.ORG.@EXAMPLE.ORG: No such entry in the database
	----
	(lookat the point before '@').

	Everythig is fine when changing DNS TXT record to "EXAMPLE.ORG"
	(without a dot at the end).

	BTW, NetBSD FAQ does not have such error:
	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/#kerberos

Fix: 

Remove the trailing dot at TXT record (english and other languages).

How-To-Repeat: 	Configure DNS as was shown earlier and try to receive kerberos ticket.
