Hi,

ftp (happens to be from/to the same host) returns these errors:

	GSSAPI error major: Miscellaneous failure
	GSSAPI error minor: Wrong principal in request
	GSSAPI error: accepting context
	GSSAPI ADAT failed
	GSSAPI authentication failed

This leave me at the "Name (host:user)" prompt where I can log in
as ftp/anonymous. klist shows that a ticket for ftp/hostname has been
obtained. Any hints on where to look?  I've just started
gdbing the client, but thought I'd ask here first to see if this
is a known problem.

Possibly related: when I tried to ftp to ftp.cam.ov.com to get
jik's xkinit I got the (expected) error "Server not found in Kerberos
database".  However, I could NOT log in as ftp/anonymous -- had to
fall back to my old ftp client to get the files.  (ftp -n also
gave me the "server not found..." message -- the man page leads
me to believe that this shouldn't happen.  Which is correct, the
ftp client or its man page?

One more thing -- ftpd is fired up with the -l option (this on a
sparc 5/sunos 4.1.4).  However anonymous logins are NOT logged,
although the code looks right.  Sun problem with syslog after chroot?
(wtmp is updated correctly).
