What were you trying to do?

Log in.

What's wrong:

(I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but...) I mistyped
my username (extra space at the end), so I entered no password.
xlogin reported that the username was unknown and gave me another
login prompt.  (Fine so far).  

I typed my username and password and got logged in, but had no
tickets.  Actually, it turns out that the file /tmp/tkt0 was created,
owned by me (not root), with a mod time of when I logged in.  Clearly,
it xlogin just misnamed the file (that ticket file contained a tgt and
rcmd.steve-dallas (to verify the kerberos response, I s'pose).)

What should have happened:

The tickets should have been put in the right place.  The KRBTKFILE
environment variable seems to have been set correctly.
