Hi, thanks for reporting this problem. The problem is not with
Kerberos v5, it is a bad interaction between ssh, libal, and the way
SIPB manages alice-whacker. Specifically, because jmorzins already
exists in the passwd file, libal assumes your passwd state is all set
up and doesn't add you to the shadow file. telnetd or rlogind don't
care, but sshd is picky and won't let you in if you have no shadow
record.
I will fix either libal or sshd to work around this failure.
