Athena 8.1: rsh and rlogin

What should happen:

    8.0machine# rsh tautog.mit.edu hostname
    tautog

What goes wrong:

    8.1machine# rsh tautog.mit.edu hostname
    rsh: Kerberos rcmd failed: Don't have ticket granting ticket (get_ad_tkt).
    trying normal rsh (/usr/ucb/rsh)
    permission denied

   (This has been verified by others, all with valid tickets and
   authorized for login on tautog.)

The problem:

    Attempts to authenticate from any Athena 8.1 machine we've tried
    (both Sun and SGI) to any Athena machine at WHOI have failed.
    These are machines with mit.edu cname records, but whoi.edu
    canonical names:

    partly-cloudy% hostinfo -h `hostinfo -a tautog.mit.edu`
    tautog.whoi.edu

    Using the same tickets on an 8.0 machine works fine.
