You can modify the default values used for new principals
in the Principal Information window. These default values are stored
in a default group for the realm. Each realm has one default group.
The values you specify for the default group are inherited
by all new principals in that realm. A default group is similar
to a template, that controls the settings for a new principal. This
template is called default@REALM. It is automatically
added to the principal database when a new realm is created.
When adding or editing a single principal, you may elect to
override the group's default values. If the defaults set
during installation are not what you commonly use for new principals,
then edit the default group for the realm. Note that the settings
for the previously created principals are not changed by editing
the settings for the template.
