+.Os HEIMDAL
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm verify_krb5_conf
+.Nd checks krb5.conf for obvious errors
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Ar [config-file]
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+reads the configuration file
+.Pa krb5.conf ,
+or the file given on the command line,
+parses it, checking verifying that the syntax is not correctly wrong.
+.Pp
+If the file is syntactically correct,
+.Nm
+tries to verify that the contents of the file is of relevant nature.
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+.Ev KRB5_CONFIG
+points to the configuration file to read.
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /etc/krb5.conf -compact
+.It Pa /etc/krb5.conf
+Kerberos 5 configuration file
+.El
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+Possible output from
+.Nm
+include:
+.Bl -tag -width "FpathF"
+.It "<path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean"
+Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it contains
+weird characters. The parsing done by
+.Nm
+is more strict than the one performed by libkrb5, so strings that
+work in real life might be reported as bad.
+.It "<path>: host not found (<hostname>)"
+Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be
+recognised as one.
+.It <path>: unknown or wrong type
+Means that <path> is either a string when it should be a list, vice
+versa, or just that
+.Nm
+is confused.
+.It <path>: unknown entry
+Means that <string> is not known by
+.Nm .
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr krb5.conf 5
+.Sh BUGS
+Since each application can put almost anything in the config file,
+it's hard to come up with a watertight verification process. Most of
+the default settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that
+every problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a
+possible problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with
+some care.
+.Pp
+It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently
+doesn't.
