Thanx for the patch Sam -- it successfully rebuilt and attacked the
problem I saw. I'm curious, and this is something I still haven't seen
in the new code. 

Is there an equivalent for the V4 "ksrvtgt" -- in the hopes of using
encrypted rdist via V5 and krsh I need an "automated way to grant a
ticket" -- and that doesn't appear to be documented for V5. Is there
such a beast, and is it new?

Thx again for the help -- John
