Description
When authenticating using the mongo shell to a Kerberos-enabled instance, the --host flag should be used to prevent the automatic assumption of "localhost". I recommend adding the flag to the examples on both the Linux and Windows documentation pages. It may also be useful to add a line such as:
Specify your hostname to avoid any issues with "localhost".
