(Sorry for the repost, but I'm really hoping someone has the answer; I
can't find a clue anywhere in the documentation.)

I noticed that kerberos (v4) reserves both TCP and UDP ports 750, but
I assume UDP is the default.  Is there a way to force kinit to use TCP
instead when obtaining a TGT from the KDC?  From looking at kinit.c, there
doesn't appear to be a way to do this, but I just wanted to check.  The
site I'm communicating with uses the Cygnus distribution, incidentally.

Thanks!
