Subject: Bug with kerberos rlogin
Though I have not attempted to reproduce this at will, it appears that
when a kerberos rlogin fails because the tickets have expired (after a
marathon session at a workstation...), it prompts for a password. Even
if the password is carefully typed (i.e., I'm sure I got it right), the
rlogin fails and prompts for "login:".
Has anyone else noticed this? (I cc'ed Bill Cattey since I have often
heard him complain about tickets expiring).

Sorry, this escaped from my input queue somehow. Yes, this is a known
bug. Worse than what you've reported is that the TERMCAP environment
variable ends up set to "network" even after you successfully log in.
At present, you have to know to bail out, get fresh tickets, and try
again.
