@ character in username

[Markus Moeller]

Try to use kinit user\\@mailaddress.com.

I use a modified kinit(deals with @ and set the principal type to 
enterprise) to use email addresses stored in AD under the userprincipalname. 
You get

 ./mkinit huaraz at moeller.plus.com
Password for huaraz\@moeller.plus.com at WINDOWS2003.HOME:
markus at OpenSuse:~/mysources/kinit_email> klist -e
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000
Default principal: huaraz\@moeller.plus.com at WINDOWS2003.HOME

Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
05/15/07 20:21:09  05/16/07 06:21:04 
krbtgt/WINDOWS2003.HOME at WINDOWS2003.HOME
        renew until 05/16/07 20:21:09, Etype (skey, tkt): ArcFour with 
HMAC/md5, ArcFour with HMAC/md5


Regards
Markus
