.B \fBkdc_tcp_ports\fP
(Whitespace\- or comma\-separated list.) Lists the ports on which
the Kerberos server should listen for TCP connections, as a
-comma\-separated list of integers. If this relation is not
-specified, the compiled\-in default is not to listen for TCP
-connections at all.
-.sp
-If you wish to change this (note that the current implementation
-has little protection against denial\-of\-service attacks), the
-standard port number assigned for Kerberos TCP traffic is port 88.
+comma\-separated list of integers. To disable listening on TCP,
+set this relation to the empty string with \fBkdc_tcp_ports = ""\fP\&.
+If this relation is not specified, the default is to listen on TCP
+port 88 (the standard port). Prior to release 1.13, the default
+was not to listen for TCP connections at all.

.B \fBmaster_key_name\fP
(String.) Specifies the name of the principal associated with the
requests renewal of the ticket\-granting ticket. Note that an
expired ticket cannot be renewed, even if the ticket is still
within its renewable life.
+.sp
+Note that renewable tickets that have expired as reported by
+\fIklist(1)\fP may sometimes be renewed using this option,
+because the KDC applies a grace period to account for client\-KDC
+clock skew. See \fIkrb5.conf(5)\fP \fBclockskew\fP setting.

.B \fB\-k\fP [\fB\-i\fP | \fB\-t\fP \fIkeytab_file\fP]
requests a ticket, obtained from a key in the local host\(aqs keytab.
Sets the maximum allowable amount of clockskew in seconds that the
library will tolerate before assuming that a Kerberos message is
invalid. The default value is 300 seconds, or five minutes.
+.sp
+The clockskew setting is also used when evaluating ticket start
+and expiration times. For example, tickets that have reached
+their expiration time can still be used (and renewed if they are
+renewable tickets) if they have been expired for a shorter
+duration than the \fBclockskew\fP setting.

.B \fBdefault_ccache_name\fP
This relation specifies the name of the default credential cache.
