After thinking about thia, I don't think it's a bug. rkinitd isn't
performing a login and has nothing better to do than use the default
ticket filename, /tmp/tkt$uid. login.krb knows the tty you're using
and can factor that into the ticket filename. Consistency is not
really important; your dotfiles should be looking for existing tickets
in $KRBTKFILE before checking /tmp/tkt$uid directly.
