% rkinit -help
rkinit: Failure getting host information while obtaining remote tickets:
-help: unknown host.
Exit 1               rkinit -help

It would be nice if it would either recognize "-help" (and print a
usage message), or print a usage message.  Also:

% rkinit -notimeout
rkinit: Failure getting host information while obtaining remote tickets:
-notimeout: unknown host.
Exit 1               rkinit -notimeout

It would be nice if it would check whether the first argument is a
control argument, and not try hostname resolution.  Actually, it
shouldn't impose any special ordering of arguments at all, other than
control arguments being paired with their parameters....
