<div> Whatever the actual pros and cons of doing
what I was wondering about, I'm ABSOLUTELY committed to presenting
users with ONLY the Kerberos Login Server dialog as provided by you
guys.</div>

<div> In my putative scenario, an application's
request for a service ticket, when no ticket granting ticket was
available, would cause an authentication failure, rather than the
Kerberos Login dialog. However, I hear Marshall's concerns that
this might be even more confusing, and likely to generate a heavier
help desk load.</div>

<div> Well, I've done nothing this morning except
reply to email generated by my message to krbdev, so can I
respectfully suggest we ease off the topic for a while? I've
probably generated a little more heat than light, but certainly
sufficient light to illuminate the dark, dusty corners of my brain ...

those south and west of Ann Arbor might be amused at a foot of show
and freezing rain here last night and the view of the trees from my
home office window:</div>
