Due to our fine sense of planning, and a few other problems as well, users
have been assigned different names according to which computer they are
running on.  Consequently we can't define a Kerberos name that will satisfy
everybody.  Does anyone have any advice on how to map Kerberos names into
account names on VMS and Unix systems?  I don't want to register people
under two names -- that would be too easy!  Besides, it defeats one of
the main reasons for having Kerberos in the first place.
