What were you trying to do?

Kerberos rlogin to another host using root instance

What's wrong:

Rlogin failed in a bizzar way, follows is transcript:

note: "meroot" is aliased to change the KRBTKFILE
environment variable.  I use this all the time.
======================
paddington% (meroot;kinit hoffmann.root)
MIT Project Athena (paddington)
Kerberos Initialization for "hoffmann.root"
Password:
paddington% (meroot;rlogin athena -l root)
Hostname did not resolve to an address, so Kerberos authentication failed
login: 124 ATHENA.MIT.EDU@(4H

Login incorrect
login: Connection closed.
====================

I had typed a number of ^D at the Password: prompt then hit a
<cr> and another ^D to close the connection.

What should have happened:

I should have been logged in as "root" to the remote host.
