Sorry I wasn't very clear.  I mean that there is no guidance as to
what the default is.  From looking at the code it seems that the
default answer is 'no'.  I would suggest something like:

Do you want to use DOMAIN as the realm name? [yes] :

So that a return accepts the default which in this case is "yes".
Also probably good to handle case insensitve "y" and "yes" as
affirmative.

A minor thing but a lot of people including myself will just choose
the defaults the first time they test the software...
