Are you using tmpfs for your /tmp? It doesn't support file locking,
which means that the kerberos library loses horribly when it tries to
acquire a lock on the cache.
I ran into that problem on one of the Suns here, so I hacked things so
that I can specify --with-ticket-dir=foo in configure. Patches will
follow in the not-too-distant future.
Meanwhile, if you make a directory with mode 1777 somewhere off of
/tmp, and then set KRB5CCNAME to some name in that directory, and then
run kinit, you should be able to win. Needless to say, it would also
be bad to put the credentials cache on an NFS filesystem...
