Tom and Rom,
Thanks for dealing! The bug is that when no one has requested a
Krb5 ticket in a while, the replace cache in /usr/tmp starts getting
stale, and the "delete old files in /usr/tmp" deletes the replay cache.
The Kerberos V5 KDC should be more robust, but it isn't (for the
moment). I've known about this one for a while; I just haven't had the
time to fix it.
