SSorry, the last one got away when I was trying to kill it.
Anyhow, the point with realms should be to not lock out any reasonable
types of use. For example, I should be able to do a normal login into
the Athena realm, get appropriate Athena tickets, and then also do a
kinit into a DEC realm. This should be possible even if Athena and
DEC dont know about each other. As long as "rlogin", et. al, understand
how to figure out what realm is needed, they can obtain and use the
right tickets.
So I think you should be able to support tickets for multiple realms
concurently. The current ticket file, and its utilities may need to
be enhanced to do this.
Steve.
