SSH as root with different principal

I tried it but it didn't work. I have

1. created .k5login file in the root's home at remote server and put
myrealusernam at MYREALM there
2. used the command "ssh -v root at theremoteserver"

But the server still wants me to authenticate using public key or password
only. This is part of what it returned with the "-v" option:

==========
debug1: Authentications that can continue:
external-keyx,gssapi,publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: external-keyx
debug1: Authentications that can continue:

debug1: Authentications that can continue:

==========

Both server and client are Debian Linux with kerberized OpenSSH (from the
supplied package).
What should I try next to make it work?
Thank you.
