rcp is setuid root and you do not have a PAG; therefore rcp is not
seeing your tokens.
Either:
1) Change rcp to not be setuid root, or
2) Give yourself a PAG
I think we should fix xlogin, and possibly /bin/login and/or login.krb
to give people PAGs, or at least give them the option to get a PAG, on
login. This will solve this problem. You will notice that all the
Athena platforms (except Sun, and that is being fixed in 7.8) give
user's PAGs on login. Linux probably should, too. Otherwise tokens
are stored by the user's UID in the kernel.
