>Description:
With the addition of the test for existence of /etc/krb5.conf in
krb5_init_context() from a day or so ago telnet with autologin
from a host that isnt configured for kerberos to one that is
fails with a seg fault.
>How-To-Repeat:
From a host without a /etc/krb5.conf file to one that has one:
telnet -l username hostname
gives the following:
dixon% telnet -l mark test
Trying 130.195.5.250...
Connected to test.mcs.vuw.ac.nz.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying KERBEROS5 ... ]
Segmentation fault
