        System: SunOS crabgrass 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc 
SUNW,Ultra-2
        Architecture: sun4

>Description:
        there appears to be a problem with the kerberos 1.2.3 sources.
        i compiled the code with:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr/kerberos --enable-shared
        --with-tcl=/usr/local --with-krb4

        make all ran fine. reported no errors or warnings.

        in the /etc/inetd.conf file on my system i have telnet and 
krb5_prop
        enabled for synchronization.

        # Kerberos Services
        telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/kerberos/sbin/telnetd \
        telnetd -a valid
        krb5_prop stream tcp nowait root /usr/kerberos/sbin/kpropd kpropd

>How-To-Repeat:

        here is the series of commands i issued to attempt login:

        matthewg@crabgrass [matthewg]% /usr/kerberos/bin/kinit
        Password for matthewg@LOTUS.COM:
        matthewg@crabgrass [matthewg]% /usr/kerberos/bin/klist
        Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_12790
        Default principal: matthewg@LOTUS.COM

        Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
        01/16/02 13:17:35  01/16/02 23:17:35  krbtgt/LOTUS.COM@LOTUS.COM

        Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt12790
        klist: You have no tickets cached

        Trying 9.95.18.57...

        [ Kerberos V5 accepts you as ``matthewg@LOTUS.COM'' ]
        done.
        login name 'matthewg' too long
        login:

        if i perform the same commands for the root account, i do get 
access
        without any problems. i also tried to get system access with 
krlogin,
        and the same error appears with 'login name too long'.

        i have not tested the username character limit.

        when i was using krb-1.2.2 sources from MIT there were no
        problems with ktelnet username length.
