I've been migrating to Heimdal for authentication of the various services o=
n=20
my network.  Other kerberized commands (ssh, imtest, ldapsearch) work in=20
the usual way, but I'm having problems getting ksu to play nicely.  First,=
=20
yes, it is setuid on my system.

I currently have a TGT for the "kirk@HONEYPOT.NET" principal:

    $ klist
    Credentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000
            Principal: kirk@HONEYPOT.NET

I'm on the host "kanga.honeypot.net" which has a defined principal of=20
"host/kanga.honeypot.net@HONEYPOT.NET" in /etc/krb5.keytab.  My user=20
principal is present in .k5login in root's home directory:

    # cat ~/.k5login
    kirk@HONEYPOT.NET
    kirk/*@HONEYPOT.NET

However, when I try to use ksu to become root, I get this error unless I=20
enter a password:

    $ ksu
    root's password:
    Sorry!

If I *do* enter root's real password, then I become root exactly as if I'd=
=20
used su instead of ksu.  I'm kind of stuck at this point.  I have=20
everything configured correctly from what I can tell, and this should=20
certainly be a lot easier than, say, configuring OpenLDAP and SASL.  Any=20
thoughts?
