In our environment people often need tokens from many AFS cells. Users
located in a foreign cell could simply acquire a token from our cell by
the use of klog(.krb5). Both things don't work any more with a Heimdal
1.5.1 server ...

Sure they can do kinit/aklog but kinit usually destroys the default K5
ticket, which is not desired (yes, one can write wrappers to avoid
this ...).

See my post on openafs-info.

Maybe. From my point of view it looks like the 1.5.1 KDC sends out a
slightly different reply now (in the encrypted parts of the ticket)
which klog.krb5 doesn't understand. So this can be a bug in klog.krb5
(when its not compatible to some new features) or in the new Heimdal KDC
(it sends out broken replies). Or it's even a configuration issue ... I
don't know.

But I think its better to use just one mailing list for that ...

Cheers & Thanks,
Andreas
