Cross realm authentication

[CJ Keist]

Hello,
     Reading the docs on cross realm authentication is making me go  
crossed eyed ;).  I'll try my best to explain what it is I'm wanting to  
do with cross realm authentication.
We have two realms 1) COLOSTATE.EDU and 2) ENGR.COLOSTATE.EDU (my  
realm).  The top realm is going to house just user principals with  
passwords, and my realm will house just my host principals.  So what I  
want to happen is when a user tries to login to one of my workstations  
it will go to my KDC, my KDC will say I don't know this user so will  
pass it on to COLOSTATE.EDU KDC server.  The COLOSTATE.EDU KDC will say  
yes I know this user and then pass the authentication on down to my KDC  
and then on to the client so the user will be able to login.
Reason I have to do this is that the Network guys for CSU don't want me  
to login to their KDC server, and they don't want to enter in all my  
host principals.  So we're trying to find a work around.

Here is what my krb5.conf file looks like:

# krb5.conf template
#
[libdefaults]
        default_realm = ENGR.COLOSTATE.EDU
[realms]
        ENGR.COLOSTATE.EDU = {
                kdc = kerberos.engr.colostate.edu
                admin_server = kerberos.engr.colostate.edu
        }
        COLOSTATE.EDU = {
                kdc = kdc1.KERBEROS.ColoState.EDU:88
                admin_server = kdc1.KERBEROS.ColoState.EDU:749
                default_domain = kerberos.colostate.edu
        }
[capaths]
        ENGR.COLOSTATE.EDU = {
                COLOSTATE.EDU = .
        }
[domain_realm]
        .engr.colostate.edu = ENGR.COLOSTATE.EDU
 Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
