The kdc reads both krb5.conf and kdc.conf, so there is already a  
configuration file in /etc (krb5.conf) that the users can use.

The konfiguration file in dbdir follows the database, and I would  
prefere to have the configuration in the database, and that way get  
the same configuration on all kdc machines.
