At the time I added sysconfdir support it's not clear that it read
both config files. Either I misread the code, or a bug was fixed
later. I know the profile library was intended to read both
configuration files, but I thought it did not do so when I wrote the
original sysconfdir patch.
That said, I have found the sysconfdir patch very useful and think it is a good idea to try and read sysconfdir/krb5.conf.
It might be reasonable to look for krb5.keytab in sysconfdir as well.
