System name:		scyther.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.3.12 (with mkserv)
Display type:		nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 420] (rev a3)

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

What were you trying to do?
SSH into any Athena machine.

What's wrong:
I just created a .k5login symlink and corresponding file in my homedir
with the contents:
kevin@CSAIL.MIT.EDU

After doing so, I can no longer SSH into any Athena machine.  Not only
does Kerberos ticket forwarding not work with either my Athena tickets
or my CSAIL tickets, but ssh asks for my password, and denies me
access even if I type my correct password.

(For reference, I've deleted the .k5login symlink in my homedir so
that I can actually SSH in the meantime.)

What should have happened:
I should have been able to SSH, if not with my tickets, then at least
with my password.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
