Athena 9.1, solaris: /usr/bin/ktutil is confusing.

Not sure that this really constitutes a bug, but the ktutil shipped
with Solaris confused the hell out of me when it complained about the
config files /etc/krb5/krb5.conf being bad (which they were, being
templates).  It took me a while to figure out that TRT was to
explicitly run /usr/athena/etc/ktutil .  Arguably, this constitutes a
minor security hazard, since in messing around trying to get
/usr/bin/ktutil to work, I frobbed haphazardly around with the config
files, and ran ktutil out of the krb5 locker as well.

Cheers,
