The problem is indeed that the Kerberos library enforces the owner of
the ticket file.  Login does the following:

Create the ticket file
Attach the homedirectory
chown the ticket file to the proper user

I believe this _should_ lose.  The Kerberos library is behaving
properly.  It is login that is losing.  Login should chown the ticket
file long before it forks off any other programs.
