We have had problems reported about login losing if you don't get the
right password the first time around; we are looking into this.

Mark: It might be a good idea to disable the kerberos rcmd servers on
dialup; it's sort of silly to run them with no srvtab, and that's
where some of your errors are coming from.

Your original messages have reported different situations: The first
message to "bugs" said you updated to 6.0C (which should have kept the
srvtab file), and your next message to "bug-dialup" said you
re-installed it.  These are rather different scenarios, and the
differences do affect what the machine is likely to be running for
software in small ways (like /etc/srvtab).  Please be more careful
with this in the future.
