	This probably means you are not running a krb524d.  If you don't use Kerberos V4, you can ignore this message.
(Yes,the message could be improved.)

	I assume you removed the -e from the klogin line in inetd.conf
for this to work.  Are you sure you didn't accidentally remove the -e
from the eklogin line as well?

	Known bug.  A last minute change broke this code.  Nothing
currently uses shs so it isn't a big deal.  (SHS is included so it can
be used by the DES3 code which isn't quite ready).
