System: SunOS chiron 5.5.1 Generic_103640-34 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
Architecture: sun4

>Description:
If you were to set default_keytab_name in krb5.conf you would expect that
it would work when using the ktadd command in kadmin.  This however, is not
the case.  For default_keytab_name to work with ktadd, you must specify the
filename with the prefix WRFILE:, however, doing this then breaks other
applications that do not recognise the WRFILE: prefix.  In contrast, you do
not need to use WRFILE with the -k option to ktadd.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set default_keytab_name in krb5.conf to an ordinary pathname without any
prefix.
>Fix:
The current workaround is to change the default name of the keytab file
by modifying the .h file it is stored in and recompile Kerberos.
