"Can't decode authenticator" simply means that the key in the srvtab
doesn't match the key in the kerberos database.  I have had this
problem several times dealing with interrealm kerberos.  There is an

rcmd.m11-111-1

in the Kerberos database:
**=> m16-034-13:/mit/qjb <=**
% kinit rcmd.dialup
MIT Project Athena (m16-034-13)
Kerberos Initialization for "rcmd.dialup"
kinit: Principal unknown (kerberos)
Exit 1               kinit rcmd.dialup
**=> m16-034-13:/mit/qjb <=**
% 

and there is no srvtab on dialup; hence they don't match.  I guess the
solution is to use rlogin.ucb or to get someone to remove 

rcmd.m11-111-1

from the Kerberos database.  (Of course, you could always put a srvtab
on dialup ha ha ha.)

To rlogin to dialup, you'll have to use rlogin.ucb.
