Maybe krlogin follows it, but krlogind doesn't seem to:
strcpy(srv_name, "host/");
gethostname(def_host, 100);
strcat(srv_name, def_host);
if (status = krb5_parse_name(srv_name, &server)) {
syslog(LOG_ERR, "parse server name %s: %s", "host",
error_message(status));
exit(1);
}
gethostname() doesn't necessarily return a canonical name, and it
certainly doesn't necessarily do so in lowercase. Methinks we need an
abstraction here.
