This indicates that the name rlogin thinks it should use isn't in the
database.  Try tracing the krb_sendauth() call to see what principal
name it's looking for.  It might be a case-sensitivity confusion with
the realm, or it might be something else.

It might be necessary; the server needs to have the key for
test.test@usc.edu in the srvtab file.  Try klist -srvtab to see if it is
there; if it's not, that could be the problem.

If you could send a context diff (with line numbers) to
kerberos-bugs@athena.mit.edu (possibly cc'ed here for other people's
edification), we'll update our sources here at Athena.
