Description

Currently the -s option can be used to specify a different service name to use. But sometimes it can also be necessary to specify a different realm (krb5.conf can't be changed or specified) but that is currently not supported.

It'd be great if we could either get an option to specify the target realm or alternatively the full principal (as is done in beeline for example)
