Anybody familiar with Java's sun.security.krb5.debug output?

[ram marti]

Hi,
The values for the KDC server settings are taken from the configuration 
file or command line setting or defaulted. If you have a specific 
question I can  try to answer it in the newsgroup. Please mention the OS 
and the JDK version.

I don't think the debug information is  formally specified or  expalined 
anywhere.

( You mention the cold boot clearing up the problem . I wonder whether 
this could be because the ticket is picked up from the TGT cache and 
when the ticket has expired it tries to contact the KDC and errors may 
occur)

Thanks
            = Ram Marti
