  Warning: No Kerberos tickets obtained

is a message from the remote host rather than your local host. It *is*
confusing, but it does not mean that your `rlogin' has failed. Kerberos
`rlogin' uses a standard Kerberos exchange to prove the identity of the
user to the remote host, after which it uses the */etc/passwd* and a
`.klogin' file to determine whether the user is authorized to log in.

   Since the user never types a password, the Kerberos process on the
remote host cannot obtain a new ticket granting ticket. The user's
existing ticket cannot be used on the remote host, because CNS/Kerberos
tickets are host-specific. Therefore, even though the user has logged
in to the remote host, there is no ticket granting ticket for the user
available on the remote host.  The warning message is merely a reminder
of this fact.
