Subject: profile handling code doesn't note parser failures
Bug is also present in beta-7.
krb524init (for instance -- presumably this is merely one of a class
of problems) does not give sane information in the case of an
invalid /etc/krb5.conf.
Attempt to comment out lines of krb5.conf using an invalid comment character.
Eg, starting with:
---cut
[libdefaults]
# ticket_lifetime = 600
default_realm = BBNPLANET.NET
---cut
run krb524init:
[all-purpose-gunk!jhawk] /usr/kerberos/lib> krb524init
k524init: No profile file open converting to V4 credentials
Workaround: uncommment the lines.
Change-request: implement (or document implementation thereof) a comment
character.
Real-fix: provide sane error messages from programs that read the profile
file.

As a cross-reference, PR #134 talks about a similar problem.
