Kerberos folks,

We have playing with Kerberos V Beta 6 on Linux 1.2.13 PCs and discovered 
a possible hole.  The following explains -

--- 1 --- First login to ntg02 as root and kinit as mere user amassey

Welcome to Linux 1.2.13.

ntg02 login: root
Password:
Linux 1.2.13. (POSIX).

ntg02:~# klist
klist: No credentials cache file found while setting cache flags (ticket cache /tmp/krb5cc_0)

ntg02:~# kinit amassey
Password for amassey@CSC.NTG:

ntg02:~# klist
Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
Default principal: amassey@CSC.NTG

Valid starting      Expires             Service principal
23 Jul 96 16:50:06  24 Jul 96 02:50:03  krbtgt/CSC.NTG@CSC.NTG

--- 2 --- Next telnet over to ntg03

ntg02:~# telnet -x ntg03
Trying 10.0.20.112...
Connected to ntg03.gsfc.nasa.gov.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Kerberos V5 accepts you as ``amassey@CSC.NTG'' ]
Last login: Mon Jul 22 09:53:55 on tty1
Linux 1.2.13. (POSIX).
You have new mail.

--- 3 --- check what's active, noting pid 1338

ntg03:~# ps -a
  PID TTY STAT  TIME COMMAND
   57 v02 S     0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty2
   58 v03 S     0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty3
   59 v04 S     0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty4
   60 v05 S     0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty5
   61 v06 S     0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty6
  654 v01 S     0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty1
 1338 pp0 S     0:00 login -h 10.0.20.111 -p -F root
 1339 pp0 S     0:00 -bash
 1351 pp0 R     0:00 ps -a

ntg03:~# who
root     ttyp0    Jul 23 16:51 (10.0.20.111)

--- 4 --- exit off ntg03 - return to ntg02

ntg03:~# exitConnection closed by foreign host.

ntg02:~# klist
Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
Default principal: amassey@CSC.NTG

Valid starting      Expires             Service principal
23 Jul 96 16:50:06  24 Jul 96 02:50:03  krbtgt/CSC.NTG@CSC.NTG
23 Jul 96 16:51:20  24 Jul 96 02:50:03  host/ntg03.sdf.csc.com@CSC.NTG
ntg02:~#

==================

What happened?  Did we mess up on Linux, or forget someting important on 
the Kerberos V setup?

Thanks ......
