From: Nickolai Zeldovich <kolya@MIT.EDU>

System name:		SEVEN-UP.MIT.EDU
Type and version:	Tadpole_S3GX 8.3.15 (with mkserv) (plus partial mkserv)
Display type:		

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		ctwm

What were you trying to do?
	Connect to one of the athena dialups using ssh with krb5 tickets
	for my root instance (which is in my .k5login file).

What's wrong:
	SEVEN-UP~4> ssh athena.dialup 
	You are not allowed to log in here: Unknown username
	SEVEN-UP~5> ssh athena.dialup -l kolya
	Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, ...
	[ properly connects ]

	The first command usually works when I have null instance tickets.

What should have happened:
	ssh should have used the proper username when connecting; I'm
	guessing that it tried to extract the username from the principal
	name, and user 'kolya/root' did not exist. Perhaps a better
	way to determine username is to not use the instance as part
	of the username.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	ssh(1), .k5login(5)
