xlogin appears to depend on chown() to set the ticket file ownership
correctly. This will not work with a kerberos library that uses
shared memory. Since the library will do the right thing if called
with the effectivate uid of the user who should have access to the
ticket file, the chown call should be deleted and the kerberos library
calls surrounded with setruid() calls.
