System name:		lycus
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2P
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	inspect the code in login.c

What's wrong:
	It can leave the service key for rcmd.<hostname> on the stack,
which might get exposed.

What should have happened:
	It should zero out the key when it's finished using it, as it
does with the ticket and authenticator.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
