-# In order to use SASL/GSSAPI the directory
+# A per instance keytab does not make much sense for servers.
+# Kerberos clients use the machine FQDN to obtain a ticket like ldap/FQDN, there
+# is nothing that can make a client understand how to get a per-instance ticket.
+# Therefore by default a keytab should be considered a per server option.
+
+# Also this file is sourced for all instances, so again all
+# instances would ultimately get the same keytab.
+
+# Finally a keytab is normally named either krb5.keytab or <service>.keytab
+
+# In order to use SASL/GSSAPI (Kerberos) the directory
# server needs to know where to find its keytab
# file - uncomment the following line and set
# the path and filename appropriately
