I definately agree with this. At out site, I've set the search path so
it looks like this:
"/etc/krb5.conf:/afs/cmf/@sys/etc/krb5.conf"
Which does the right thing on machines that the admin setup Kerberos
on and on the ones that they didn't, which is great for a transition
period.
In the case of Kerberos, I don't particularly care what the default is,
as long as it's easy enough to change.
