Hmm, that fix recently stopped working (I think today), and now the
permission-denied errors are back, e.g.:

  $ klist
  Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000
  Default principal: sanjoy@ATHENA.MIT.EDU

  Valid starting     Expires            Service principal

	  renew until 03/26/09 15:18:19
  03/25/09 15:18:25  03/26/09 12:33:20  host/vinegar-pot.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
	  renew until 03/26/09 15:18:19

But then the permission-denied shows up:

  $ ssh -K linux
