Thanks.   Just to make sure I understand this clearly:

1: Is it the case that the example principal 
'alnumstring/[email protected]' will never be associated 
by heimdal (kuserok and friends) to any local account whatsoever, no 
matter the principal type, unless the local user is of the sort that has 
a default directory (e.g. not /nonexistent), and that directory has a 
.k5login file or k5login.d/, and that principal is among those in 
that(those) file(s)?

and second,

2: Asked to deduce a local user from a principal name as in example 1, 
heimdal will fail such requests always even if user alnumstring exists 
on the local system whose hostname is nfsclient and whose domain is 
domain.com and the default realm is DOMAIN.COM?
