If I log in twice to exposure (Athena 8.2 Sparc5), I get weird
problems running zwgc with one krb4 ticket file and attaching
AFS lockers with another. Situation: zwgc is running normally,
zephyrs show up authentic or unauthentic, as expected. I attach an
arbitrary AFS locker using the other ticket file. Now all incoming
zephyrs that would normally be reported authentic are reported as
forged instead.
I normally run vt, but I've noticed the same behavior running plain
zwgc. I haven't been able to tell whether or not this happens with
attaches of NFS filesystems. This seems to be related to zephyr
notification, but not to authentication. 'attach -n filsys' still
causes zwgc lossage, but 'attach -h filsys' does not. Attaching a
locker that is already attached does not cause the problem.
