What's wrong:
kinit refuses to create tickets if $KRBTKFILE specifies a symlink
pointing to a ticket file (which does or does not exist).
example:
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl]% echo $KRBTKFILE
/tmp/tkt5509
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl]% ls -l /tmp/tkt5509
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jtkohl 14 Sep 20 08:53 /tmp/tkt5509 -> /tmp/tkt_ttyv0
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl]% ls -l /tmp/tkt_ttyv0
-rwx------ 1 jtkohl 350 Sep 20 17:15 /tmp/tkt_ttyv0
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl]% kinit jtkohl

What should have happened:
It shouldn't have complained about the symlinked ticket file.
