You don't want it to forward?  or you do.
The Solaris 10 ssh_config GSSAPIDelegateCredentials option could be set
to not forward them.

If you do, could it be that the dtlogin is not getting forwardabel tickets?
What doe klist -f show?

Solaris looks a the krb5.conf file  at little differently
then MIT. dtlogin and pam_krb5 looks for forwardable = 1 in the [libdefault]
or [appdefault] sections. see the man pags.
