   The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
   that has been posted as well.

   Isn't com_err supposed to handle errno?

It is; at a guess, SunOS's strerror() function must be misbehaving.  If
you could put a breakpoint in error_message(), and single step through
it, and let me know what you find, I would be much obliged.  Under
Solaris, it works OK:

% /u1/krb5/build.gcc/clients/klist/klist -k
Keytab name: /etc/v5srvtab
klist: Permission denied while starting keytab scan

Thanks for reporting this problem!
