>Description:

krb5_sname_to_principal does not take a realm name as an argument.
This means that any program that wants to use sname_to_princ but wants
to allow users to override the krb5.conf default realm via the command
line has to munge the realm component of the result of sname_to_princ
directly. This is ugly, and currently rlogin/rsh/rcp, kprop/d, and
probably telnet/d do it this way. See [krb5-admin/39].

A better solution would be for krb5_sname_to_principal to take a realm
argument. This can be accomplished in two ways: 1, a new function
krb5_sname_to_princ_with_realm or 2, by adding a new argument to the
existing principal, using API versioning. This would be a nice test
case for the api versioning system.

Maybe, but not for the 1.0 release.
