I solved this problem while at OV. The bug, as I recall, had to do
with process groups: krlogind was not setting up the shell child
process to be in a different pgrp than krlogind itself, and thus when
krlogind delivered a SIGINT to thechild it ended up killing itself.
This bug also explains the difference in behavior when the user's
shell is /bin/sh or /bin/csh, since those two shells themselves behave
very differently: /bin/sh runs children in its own pgrp but ignores
SIGINT, while /bin/csh runs children in a different pgrp. I don't
recall the exact details any more.
I thought I had posted a patch for this bug to krb5-bugs already..
