One of the unresolved (to my knowledge) problems with Kerberos is
ticket forwarding. One of the manifestations of this is in rcp:
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% rcp priam:/mit/qjb/.cshrc paris:/mit/q/j/qjb/.cshrc
Kerberos rcp failed: No ticket file (tf_util).
trying normal rcp (/bin/rcp.ucb)
Permission denied.
Exit 1 rcp /mit/qjb/.cshrc paris:/mit/q/j/qjb/.cshrc
I haven't looked deeply into this, but I assume that rcpd on priam was
trying to go to paris.
Would it be possible for the "kerberized" rcp to grab the file from
the first host and copy it to the second when two hosts are involved,
is the a to b and then b to c routing there for a deeper reason that I
am not seeing right now?

P.S. I decided not to send this to bugs. If you think that it should
go to bugs, feel free to forward it...
