   I've got a problem with ksu.  If I have my name in /.k5login, then
it works just fine, asking for my password if I haven't gotten a
ticket recently, and just setting me to root if I have.
   However, if I _don't_ have my name in /.k5login, I get the
following message:

ksu: Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial
credentials
Authentication failed.



   Now, I've got the "host/machine@realm" entry in the database, and
as an experiment I also have "ksu/machine@realm", but I'm still
getting the error.  What client name _should_ I have in /.k5login, or
if that's not it, does anybody know what's wrong with my setup?


Thanks!
