>Description:

A binary distribution created according to the build-instructions file
does not end up containing a sample krb5.conf and kdc.conf.  Given
that the major purpose of the binary distributions is to make it very
easy to sample krb5, this is unfortunate.

The install rule in src/config-files, which already exists, could
easily install the sample files in, say, share/config-files.

Comments on priority?

 Actually, I'm beginning to think the right answer is for the sample
 configuration files to go into the *documentation* tree.
 
 My proposal is for the 1.0 release, to add a new directory,
 doc/sample-config-files containing the sample configuration files into
 the documentation tree, and then after the 1.0 release, we'll remove
 krb5.conf, kdc.conf, and services.append from src/config-files.
 
 Comments?

 That sound's sensible.

    I really would prefer not having to change the tarball... 
    Question: Would the sample files be appropriate to install in share/config-files?
    Would we be better off providing next to the binary distribution
    a tarball containing these shared files? (And indicate that 
    users should get both - at least for this release).
