first thing Deb-Conf wants, is configuring the
client... but I thing it isn't important...

What do you thing that I have to have in /etc/hosts?
Now I have the name of the machine like:
127.0.0.1       localhost       namemach      
namemach.enllac.com

is needed to user Kerberos or something like this? The
