Hmm, that wasn't too clear.
I asked the user to submit a bug report, but I was hoping for something
more precise.
The user tried to forward his email with
athena% chpobox -s ad__cool@hotmail.com
And he kept getting the chpobox usage message back,
without any diagnostics.
We hypothesized that this was failing due to the underscores
in his name, but testing confirmed that wasn't the case.
Next, I hypothesized that perhaps chpobox disliked the underscores
in his kerberos principle (?). I was able to forward his mail to the
desired destination with 'moira', though.
A cursory inspection of the chpbox code
(/mit/moiradev/src/clients/passwd/chpobox.c) doesn't provide any
explanation for the failure, other than perhaps a corrupt password
file (which would have affected the 'moira' client as well).
Any clues?
