Tickets accepted upon login but still prompted for password

Looking at the code, it looks like if I don't have a .k5login I should be allowed access, but the authorization is failing.  Is this a correct assumption?

It's really frustrating because I had this setup working a while ago and now I revisit it and it's not.

Best way to do what?  I see that your patch makes .k5login policy
depend on existence of another file, if absent then .k5login is
required.  And the comments explain why.  But how would that help
in the present case?  I must have missed something about the setup
there - it looked to me like he would want the normal default
behavior from krb5_kuserok(), and I don't see why he would need
.k5login.
