   I just compiled and installed the new kerberos
   version 5 beta4.2 on Sun OS 4.1.3.
   When I run kinit, ksu and other clients I get the following errors:

   kinit: Invalid argument when initializing cache 

I just stumbled on the same thing.  A quick strace reveals that the
invalid argument is the error return from trying to get a write lock on
the ticket cache file.  As usual, the SunOS 4.1 tmpfs is screwing up.
As a workaround, you can setenv KRB5CCNAME to something in /var/tmp
instead.

Too bad the /tmp is hardcoded in krb5/src/lib/krb5/os/ccdefname.c.
Would it be possible to make this a configuration option instead?  (It
was in K4, no?)
