System: OSF1 kangaroo.mit.edu V3.2 214 alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
	I was trying to run the rpc tests on the alpha and they failed. 
It appears that the server program fails "unable to set gssapi names" 
Tracking down into the code - the error is 
GSS-API authentication error acquiring credentials: Miscellaneous failure
GSS-API authentication error acquiring credentials: No principal in keytab match

The problem stems from the fact that the keytab has:
	server/KANGAROO.MIT.EDU@SECURE-TEST.OV.COM

but the code is looking for
	server/kangaroo.mit.edu@MIT.EDU


Note - the casing problem.

	I would guess that the procedure creating the keytab is doing
something funky. Acually, I just found it:
	qualname.pl on kangaroo returns KANGAROO.MIT.EDU
		    on dcl      returns dcl.mit.edu

	We need to downcase this string!!!

>How-To-Repeat:
	gmake check
>Fix:
	When I find my perl book I will remember how to downcase the
qualname.
