   Thanks for all of your help, kerberos is now working.

   Kerberos lets me log in but gives me the warning:
   Warning: No Kerberos tickets obtained

   is this a problem?

Nope; it's just a reminder that after you do a remote login, your
Kerberos tickets are *not* automatically forwarded to the remote
machine.  (In fact, in V4, you can't automatically forward tickets for
security reasons.  In V5, it's a site security policy option whether or
not you can have this convenience at the cost of making it a little
easier for an attacker to steal your tickets.)
