Message 18456 came from the server named "KCSD-ZONE-INT".  FreeTDS
transmitted the credentials you provided.  If the server says your login
failed, it failed.  :-(

The -S causes tsql to look in freetds.conf.  Unless you have an entry
like 
	[10.1.1.16]
	host = 10.1.1.16

tsql will not use freetds.conf settings to connect to the server.  It
may *connect* anyway, by converting (as a last-ditch effort) the string
to an address, but then likely as not it will fail to log in because
it won't use the right TDS version.
