In the users home directory create a .k5login file with the principal name
you are using to login.
$more .k5login
user at REALM.COM

Good Luck

No it wasn't so I did a kinit -f and then tryed the following:

$./telnet -a localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: Authorization failed.
Connection closed by foreign host.


So now I get the error message: authorization failed, what could be the 
problem ?
