I have found three problems with kerberos. First and most serious, when
retrieve() was renamed to get_credentials(), nobody changed the manual
page. This makes it very difficult for a programmer to use kerberos.
The next problem is that decomp_ticket.c has the string "ATHENA.MIT.EDU"
hardcoded in as the default realm. It should be the defined value
KRB_REALM. (This is in lib/krb)
Finally, libkrb has one routine multiply defined. Both conf.c and
get_krbhst.c define the routine get_krbhst().
