>Description:
The krb tests in tests/dejagnu will fail with untested test cases if
the user does not have permission to rlogin in to the local machine as
root; this causes make to exit with an error. This is documented in
the install manual, but it is a good bet that many users will run make
check without reading that section first; they will then send a bug
report to krb5-bugs complaining about the problem.
I think that the tests should not cause make to fail; the
documentation says this error can be safely ignored, so make should
not force people to notice it. We could change the tests to use warn
(which prints WARNING: <msg>) instead of untest, or perhaps something else.
