>Description:
                Abigail is both a v5 host and client.  Upon ftping from
                abigail to abigail, I get GSSAPI errors indicating that
                abigail is not in the Kerberos database.  However, it
                seems as though the authentication still suceeds!
 
>How-To-Repeat:
                abigail 37: ftp abigail
                Connected to abigail.mit.edu.
                220 abigail FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
                334 Using authentication type GSSAPI; ADAT must follow
                GSSAPI accepted as authentication type
                GSSAPI error major: Miscellaneous failure
                GSSAPI error minor: Server not found in Kerberos database
                GSSAPI error: initializing context
                GSSAPI authentication succeeded

>Fix:
	        I assume from the next to last line, that things have somehow
                worked themselves out, but I don't understand the errors on
                the previous three lines.
