What were you trying to do?
Read software suggestions and not run into bugs :-)
What's wrong:
When printing authentication fails, this is what happens:
<36> portnoy:~> lpr -Ppython
Kerberos authentication failed. Use kinit and try again.
There are three problems:
1) The error doesn't mention that it came from lpr.
2) Most users don't know (and shouldn't have to) what kinit is. This
week I saw dozens of users come into the SIPB office and ask what
kinit (most often pronounced "kin-it", not "Kay-init") was. A slight
change in the addition might help:
Kerberos authentication failed. Run "kinit" and try again.
Then, some users may be able to figure it out a little more effectively.
What should have happened:
See above
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
lpr(1), kinit(1)
