>Description:
If I try to rlogin to a host which is missing a keytab file, one
gets back the great error "Flie not found" - what file was not
found? I know it was the keytab. This is non-obvious to the
novice.
I was thinking - maybe we should have an error for keytab file
not found. The keytab library could then return that when it
gets ENOENT when trying to ope the keytab.
Potential gotcha.... Somewhere else may be depending on ENOENT
to be returned. This would need to be looked into.

Move keytab out of way and rlogin
