Re: Embeded nulls in realm names....

Is this an implementation, or protocol issue?  It sounds like a protocol
issue...  

Another alternative is that we supply routines to change embeded nulls
to \0; I have a routine that does that (as well as converting newlines,
tabs, spaces and other undesirable characters) inside
krb5_{un}parse_name.  It wouldn't be that hard to pull it out and use it
to convert realm names (with embedded NULL's) into something palatable.
