I know it was the keytab. This is non-obvious to the novice. I was thinking - maybe we should have an error for keytab file not found. The keytab library could then return that when it gets ENOENT when trying to ope the keytab. Potential gotcha.... Somewhere else may be depending on ENOENT to be returned. This would need to be looked into. >How-To-Repeat: Move keytab out of way and rlogin >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
