Is it my imagination, or does login.c only contain Kerberos 4 code? There are
no krb5_* function calls to be seen anywhere in the source file. Since my
AFS cellname is different from my DCE realm name, when I try to run this
login program, it fails with

Kerberos error: Can't send request (send_to_kdc)

which is pretty much what one would expect, on a host that doesn't have any
K4 configuration installed... What's the deal here?

The only reason I've even bothered looking into this, is because I can't get
the telnetd working either. I have applied Douglas Engert's patches, so kinit
is able to get tickets from my DCE server. I created a host/<hostname>
principal and account in my DCE registry, so the telnet client could find a
service to talk to. I extracted its key into a v5srvtab. What am I missing
that I need to have before telnetd will work? It seems to be failing with
an ENOENT in krb5_rd_req.

Also, out of curiosity, I tried just making host/<fully-qualified-hostname>
an alias to hosts/<hostname>/self in my DCE registry, but that wasn't enough
to make telnet happy. Why not? What good are aliases, then? Or was the problem
that I still needed to create a DCE account for the alias?
